From inside the dust jacket: "This book traces the life and work of Muybridge, from his early thinking about anatomy and movement to his latest photographic experiments. The most important plates of Muybridge's groundbreaking Animal Locomotion (1887) are reproduced here. In addition, Muybridge's handmade and extremely rare first illustrated album, The Attitudes of Animals in Motion (1881), is reproduced in large part, completed by a detailed chronology by British researcher Stephen Herbert." Overall, tightly bound and attractive.
