Oblong quarto, 12 1/4" x 9 3/4", bound in brick-red cloth. An updated abridgement of Muybridge's innovative 11-volume study Animal Locomotion (1887) selected "with a view of supplying the demand of art and of science students, and others" with over 90 plates each illustrating multiple gait phases of men, livestock, birds, and exotic animals such as the sloth, kangaroo and ostrich -- as well as six different gaits of the horse, including the gallop, which Muybridge definitively proved to leave the ground in his Palo Alto experiments of 1878, thus beginning his career as a photographer of motion. ".although Muybridge's stop-action photography is often claimed to be an antecedent of motion pictures, it is better understood as a treasure trove of figurative, often erotic, imagery." Early editions of Muybridge are uncommon, and his earliest publications are truly rare and priced accordingly. This copy is in very good condition, rebound in cloth with a gilt label. All plates are in very good condition. * 003431.
