Animal Locomotion. An Electro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements. Commenced 1872 - Completed 1885. Volume V, Man (Pelvis Cloth) 1880s

Eadweard Muybridge's "Animal Locomotion" series is a groundbreaking work in the history of photography, capturing the motion of a man jumping over a hurdle in a sequence of 12 images. This plate, "Man (Pelvis Cloth)," is part of Volume V, which focuses on human movement, and was completed in the 1880s. Muybridge's innovative use of multiple cameras allowed him to break down movement into its individual components, contributing significantly to the development of motion pictures and our understanding of human anatomy. This detailed photographic study of movement revolutionized the way we see and understand the human body.
