Muybridge strongman study. Series of early photographs showing two strongmen demonstrating acrobatic acts, gestures and poses. 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. Muybridge is in the photographs at top centre and bottom centre. 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 photograph is from Muybridge's book 'The Attitudes of Animals in Motion' (1881).
