Eadweard Muybridge (1830 - 1904) was a pioneer in his field, developing a technique of multiple cameras to capture movement of human and animal models at various stages in their stride, or whatever requested action was acted out before his array of equipment. Horses were a favoured topic, being of such importance to daily life at the time rather than a mere hobby as they are to many modern horsemen, myself included! I was originally going to post just the uppermost picture in my collection simply because it turned up in my searching for artistic nudes of the Victorian era, but have since happened across several other plates featuring the same model and horse (a mare named Pandora, I find it delightful to know her name when so many of my pictures are of anonymous subjects!), and thought some of you may find them of interest. -- source link
