En savoir plus sur le livre
In 1872, the author began investigating animal movements through photography in Sacramento, California, focusing initially on a renowned horse named Occident, owned by Senator Stanford. He captured various phases of the horse's actions while trotting at full speed. Although the experiments continued sporadically, it wasn't until 1877 that results were published. During this time, he developed an automatic electro-photographic apparatus to take consecutive exposures at set intervals. The findings, showcasing different phases of horse movement—walking, trotting, galloping—were published in 1878 under the title "The Horse in Motion." Photographs from this work were deposited in the Library of Congress and circulated internationally, garnering attention from various journals. In 1882, during a lecture at the Royal Institution titled "The Science of Animal Locomotion in its relation to Design in Art," he presented results from experiments conducted in previous years at Palo Alto, California. Using a zoopraxiscope and an oxy-hydrogen lantern, he projected a synthesis of the analyzed actions onto a wall, further demonstrating the intricate dynamics of animal locomotion.
