Muybridge motion study. Series of early photographs showing the motion of a race horse harnessed to a sulky (racing cart) and demonstrating a trotting gait. The horse is 'Abe Edgington', owned by Leland Stanford and driven by C. Marvin. These photographs were obtained by English photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge (1830-1904) in his pioneering work of 1878 and 1879, documenting the motion of animals. This work was carried out in Paulo Alto, California, USA. His most famous study was of a galloping horse, but he also studied the motions of humans. This series of photographs was obtained on 15th June 1878.
