About This Item
NY: Dover, 1957. Hardcover. VG. Grey cloth. xvii, 195 plates (appx. 390 pp and 2000 individual photographs). Muybridge's 1887 eleven-volume pictorial treatise of human and animal life in motion is finally re-published in an abridged edition which focuses on the animals in motion This encyclopedic anatomy of motion, unique in its day and unsurpassed in ours, is equally valuable to artists, scientists, and photographers. The photographs consist of a series of movements shown in stop-motion sequence: Each plate is a two-page spread, and helps to document nearly 300 separate actions split into as many as 50 individual shots per action. Most of the plates show three different simultaneous perspectives on a single action, which Muybridge achieved with 12 to 36 cameras and his own tripping device.
