Muybridge, Eadweard Elberon, Walking, Saddled. 1884–85. Collotype, printed in 1887. Plate 579 from *Animal Locomotion: An Electro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements*. 22 x 34.5 cm (sheet 48.5 x 61 cm). Printed below the image with copyright notice, title, and plate number. Muybridge first gained international renown through his 1878 sequential photographs of a galloping horse, which demonstrated that all four hooves leave the ground during part of the stride. Under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, he expanded these investigations in 1884–85 to encompass human and animal movement. Published in 1887, *Animal Locomotion* comprised 781 collotype plates and offered an unprecedented analysis of successive phases of motion, exerting a lasting influence on both scientific study and the visual arts. Another copy is in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. – Soiled and foxing in the margins, some tears along the edges, traces of previous mounting along the upper edge, upper right corner backed; otherwise, the image is in very good condition.
