Eadweard Muybridge's "Animal Locomotion," first published by the University of Pennsylvania in 1887, is renowned for its comprehensive high-speed sequential photographs that offer an unparalleled visual analysis of animal movement. This Dover edition, a reprint from a rare original, presents 45 classic sequences of animals like horses, dogs, and camels, captured at speeds up to 1/2,000 of a second. These images reveal intricate movements, including leg coordination and muscle adjustments, often too swift for the naked eye. It serves as a valuable resource for artists, photographers, animators, zoologists, and anyone fascinated by the dynamics of living motion.
