Obese woman walking, Muybridge motion study, 1880s
Obese woman walking, Muybridge motion study, 1880s. Series of photographs showing an obese woman walking and turning around. These photographs were obtained by English photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge (1830-1904) in his pioneering work documenting the motion of humans and animals. Between 1883 and 1886, Muybridge made more than 100,000 images using his ground-breaking stop-motion photography techniques. He worked in Philadelphia under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania. The results were published in 'Animal Locomotion' (1887). This study was published in Volume III: Females (nude).
