"Animal Locomotion" is a pioneering work by the English photographer Eadweard Muybridge, first published in 1887. This monumental series of photographic studies captures the movement of animals and humans in a way that had never been done before, marking a significant advancement in both the fields of photography and biomechanics. Muybridge's work was initially commissioned by the University of Pennsylvania, where he was tasked with creating a comprehensive visual record of motion. Utilizing a series of cameras set up in sequence, Muybridge was able to capture successive phases of movement, which he then compiled into a series of plates.

The project consists of 781 plates, each containing multiple images that break down the motion of various subjects, including horses, birds, and humans performing a variety of activities. These images were groundbreaking at the time because they provided a detailed analysis of motion that was previously invisible to the naked eye. Muybridge's innovative use of stop-motion photography allowed for the study of locomotion in a scientific manner, contributing to the fields of physiology, biomechanics, and even the nascent motion picture industry.

"Animal Locomotion" had a profound impact on both the arts and sciences. Artists such as Thomas Eakins and Marcel Duchamp drew inspiration from Muybridge's work, while scientists and engineers used his findings to better understand the mechanics of movement. The work also played a crucial role in the development of motion pictures, as Muybridge's techniques laid the groundwork for the invention of the motion picture camera.

Eadweard Muybridge's "Animal Locomotion" remains a seminal work in the history of photography and motion study, celebrated for its technical innovation and its lasting influence on multiple disciplines.
