This image is a series of sequential photographs titled "The Horse in Motion" by Eadweard Muybridge, taken in 1878. It demonstrates the movement of a horse named "Abe Edgington" pulling a cart in a trotting gait over the Palo Alto track on June 18th, 1878.

The photo series is arranged in rows of panels, capturing the horse's motion with timed intervals — an early example of motion photography used to study animal locomotion. Each panel shows the horse with a man riding in the cart, and the positions of the horse's legs change incrementally, illustrating the stride of the horse as it trots.

This groundbreaking work was part of Muybridge's pioneering studies in motion, using a photographic technique called automatic electro-photography to reveal precise movements that were otherwise imperceptible to the human eye. The images were taken at intervals of twenty-one inches apart on a single stride. This work had a significant impact on biomechanics, art, and cinema.

The image is a famous series of photographs by Eadweard Muybridge titled "The Horse in Motion." It consists of a sequence of eight side-view frames showing a horse named "Abe Edgington" pulling a sulky with a driver. The sequence captures the horse in various stages of a trot, illustrating its movement over one complete gait cycle.

The images were taken at the Palo Alto track on June 18, 1878, and were part of Muybridge's early work in motion photography. Each photograph is labeled with numbers above from 5 to 20, indicating the frames of the sequence. At the bottom, there is a description noting the images had negatives taken at intervals of twenty-one inches, with vertical lines spaced twelve inches apart. The work was a groundbreaking study in animal locomotion and contributed to the development of motion pictures.

The image appears to be a series of sequential photographs depicting the motion of a horse and carriage. The photographs show a horse-drawn carriage moving at a trotting gait, with the horse and carriage captured in multiple consecutive positions. The images are arranged in a grid format, with each frame showing a different stage of the horse's movement. The photographs are accompanied by text identifying the horse as "ABE EDGINGTON" and providing details about the trotting gait and the track where the photographs were taken.

This is a famous historical sequence of photographs titled "The Horse in Motion" created by Eadweard Muybridge in 1878. It shows a series of consecutive images capturing a horse named "Abe Edgington" (owned by Leland Stanford) trotting at an 8-minute gait over the Palo Alto track on June 18th, 1878. The sequence is arranged in two rows of four frames each, showing the horse and sulky (a lightweight cart) with a driver in silhouette. Each frame captures a different moment in the horse's gait, effectively breaking down the motion of the trotting horse. This groundbreaking photographic study was one of the first to analyze animal locomotion through sequential photography and helped settle the question of whether all four of a horse's hooves left the ground simultaneously during a trot. The images were taken using Muybridge's "automatic electro-photograph" system, with the negatives made at intervals of twenty-one inches of distance. This work was revolutionary for both scientific study of motion and the development of cinema.

This image is a series of eight photographs taken in 1878 by Eadweard Muybridge, showcasing a horse in motion. The photographs are arranged in two rows of four, with each row displaying a different phase of the horse's movement. The top row shows the horse trotting from left to right, while the bottom row shows it trotting from right to left.

The photographs are sepia-toned and feature a horse with a rider, who is dressed in a top hat and coat. The horse is wearing a harness and is pulling a cart with a large wheel. The background of the photographs is a plain white wall with vertical lines, which helps to create a sense of depth and perspective.

At the bottom of the image, there is a caption that reads "THE HORSE IN MOTION" in large letters, followed by smaller text that provides information about the photographs. The caption states that the photographs were taken at an 8-minute gait over the Palo Alto track on June 18th, 1878. It also mentions that the negatives of these photographs were made at intervals of twenty-one inches of distance, and that they illustrate consecutive positions assumed during a single stride of the horse.

Overall, this image is a fascinating example of early photography and its ability to capture movement and motion. It is a testament to Muybridge's innovative techniques and his contribution to the development of photography as an art form.

Here's a description of the image:

Overall:

The image is a historical photographic study of a horse in motion, specifically trotting. It's a composite of eight individual photographs arranged in a grid. The style suggests a scientific or observational approach, likely intended to analyze the mechanics of a horse's gait.

Arrangement:

  • The photographs are presented in two rows of four.
  • Each frame contains a silhouette-like image of a horse and its driver in a two-wheeled cart.
  • Above each frame are numbers (5-20) that mark the distance the horse is running

Subject & Description:

  • The horse is depicted in successive phases of its trot, with the frames illustrating the movement of its legs and body.
  • The cart and driver are present in each frame, providing context for the horse's movement.
  • The photographs are captured in a manner that suggests a scientific or technical methodology, using a time-lapse or series of synchronized exposures.

Text & Inscription:

  • The title "THE HORSE IN MOTION" is prominently displayed.

  • The image is attributed to Muybridge, indicating his authorship or involvement in the project.

  • Additional text provides details about the subject of the study, including:

    • The horse's name: "ABE EDGINGTON"
    • The owner of the horse: "LELAND STANFORD"
    • The location of the event: the "Palo Alto track"
    • The date of the event: "18th June 1878"
    • The method of the photography: "AUTOMATIC ELECTRO-PHOTOGRAPH"
    • There is a copyright notice.

Historical Context:

This image is likely a reproduction of Eadweard Muybridge's famous photographic studies of animal locomotion. Muybridge pioneered techniques for capturing motion by using multiple cameras to photograph a moving subject in rapid succession. These studies were influential in both art and science, providing unprecedented insights into animal and human movement.

Here is a description of the image:

The image shows a series of photographs of a horse-drawn carriage in motion, arranged in a grid format. Each photo captures a slightly different point in the horse's stride, creating a visual representation of movement. The photographs are numbered sequentially, starting from 1 in the upper left corner and ending with 8 in the lower right corner.

Above each photo, there is a sequence of numbers that correspond with the horse and carriage's position in each photo. The numbers above each photo seem to be a range of numbers rather than a specific number that corresponds to the location of the horse in each image. The photographs themselves are sepia-toned, giving them an aged or antique appearance.

The image is labeled "The Horse in Motion," illustrated by Muybridge, and includes a copyright date of 1878. The horse is identified as "Abe Edgington," owned by Leland Stanford, trotting at an 8-minute gait over the Palo Alto track, June 18, 1878. The image also provides technical details about the photography, such as the intervals of the photos and the exposure time.

The image is a historical photographic sequence titled "The Horse in Motion," created by Eadweard Muybridge in 1878. It depicts a horse named "Abe Edgington," owned by Leland Stanford, trotting at an 8-minute gait over the Palo Alto track on June 18, 1878.

The sequence consists of eight frames, each showing the horse and rider at different stages of the trot. The images are arranged in two rows of four frames each, and each frame is numbered sequentially from 1 to 16. The vertical lines in the background are spaced at intervals of 21 inches, providing a reference for the horse's movement.

The caption at the bottom explains that the photographs were taken at intervals of 21 inches of distance and illustrate consecutive positions assumed during a single stride of the horse. The vertical lines are used to measure the relative positions of the horse's limbs during the stride.

This series of photographs is a notable example of early motion studies and was created using Muybridge's patented "Automatic Electro-Photograph" technique. The image is copyrighted by Muybridge and was distributed by The Morse Gallery in San Francisco.
