First edition of the book of the famous Muybridge sequence high-speed photographs of human motion. many types of action: elderly man lifting log, woman sweeping, woman climbing ladder, men boxing and wrestling, child crawling, man lifting weight, man jumping. Taken at speeds ranging up to 1/6000th of a second, these photographs show bone and muscle positions against ruled backgrounds. Almost all subjects are undraped, and all actions are shown from three angles: front, rear, and three-quarter view.
These historic photographs are one of the great monuments of 19th century photography. It has never been superseded as a sourcebook for artists, students, animators, and art directors. The book is complete and in good condition.
