Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) is remembered today for his stop-motion photographs of people and animals in motion, produced in Philadelphia in the mid-1880s. Before then, however, he was famous for his Western landscapes and scenes of San Francisco. This volume reproduces images he created between 1866 and 1876.

We believe this book includes over 95% of the photos Muybridge published prior to his murder trial plus the Central American series published after the trial.

Please note: due to the age and condition of the original photographs, quality may vary, though most are crisp, clear and beautiful. This book is meant to be a guide to Muybridge's early work — it's not what you might expect from a glossy "coffee table" book. In order to provide a comprehensive guide, 2 or 3 photographs are printed on each 8.25" x 10.75" page, so they're a little smaller than the original prints. Please contact us if you might be interested in a version of this book with full-size images.
