Description
Muybridge motion study track. This is the track at Paulo Alto, California, USA, used by the English photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge (1830-1904) in his pioneering work of 1878 and 1879, documenting the motion of animals. His most famous study was of a galloping horse. This photograph shows a row of 24 cameras (background, numbered) behind electroshutters that are triggered by animals running across the tripwires at lower left. The tripwires are 12 inches (30 centimetres) apart, and laid across rubber matting. This photograph is from Muybridge's book The Attitudes of Animals in Motion (1881).
