"Animal Locomotion" is a pioneering work by the English photographer Eadweard Muybridge, first published in 1887. This extensive series of photographic studies captures the movement of various animals and humans, breaking down their motions into sequential frames. Muybridge's work was groundbreaking in the field of motion photography and had a profound impact on both the scientific community and the arts.

The project began in 1872 when Muybridge was commissioned by Leland Stanford, a businessman and racehorse owner, to settle a debate about whether all four of a horse's hooves leave the ground simultaneously during a gallop. Muybridge's initial experiments led to the development of a technique using multiple cameras and tripwires to capture successive phases of movement. This technique evolved over the years, culminating in the comprehensive "Animal Locomotion" series.

"Animal Locomotion" consists of 781 plates, each containing multiple images that depict various stages of movement. The subjects include a wide range of animals such as horses, birds, and domestic pets, as well as human models performing different activities like walking, running, and jumping. Muybridge's meticulous approach provided unprecedented insights into the mechanics of motion, revealing details that were previously invisible to the naked eye.

The publication of "Animal Locomotion" had a significant influence on various fields. In science, it contributed to the study of biomechanics and physiology. In the arts, it inspired painters, sculptors, and later, filmmakers, who were fascinated by the detailed representation of movement. Muybridge's work is often credited with laying the groundwork for the development of motion pictures, as it demonstrated the potential of sequential photography to capture and study dynamic processes.

Eadweard Muybridge's "Animal Locomotion" remains a seminal work in the history of photography and motion studies, celebrated for its technical innovation and its enduring impact on both scientific inquiry and artistic expression.
