Early motion photography...



Item # 657290

September 09, 1882

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, New York, Sept. 9, 1882  This issue features a very significant development in the development of motion pictures. An interior page has an article: "The Photographing of Motion" by the famed Mr. Muybridge, whose earlier work on photographing a horse's gallop transformed the way we understood that motion.
Here his work focuses on: "The Successive Phases in the Motion of a Man Running" with a print showing just that.
This was very early work on motion pictures and would create the foundation for an industry which would not fully bloom until the 20th century.
Sixteen pages, partially rejoined at the spine, nice condition..

Item from our most recent catalog - #356, released for July, 2025
