Edweard Muybridge, The Human Figure in Motion. Dover, 1955. 196 pages containing over 4,700 individual photographs of men, women and children, mostly nude and a few partially clothed, chosen for their value to artists, doctors, and researchers. The largest selection of Muybridge's motion studies of the male and female form ever published in book form, these photos depict 163 different types of action and were taken at speeds ranging up to 1/6000 of a second. The subjects were photographed against a grid background to facilitate use by artists and most were taken from three directions simultaneously with banks of cameras. One of the most remarkable achievements in the history of photography, Muybridge made approximately 100,000 images, including both his human and animal motion studies, at the University of Pennsylvania with initial arrangements by Thomas Eakins. The cost of the project, completed in 1887, was more than $50,000. Earlier in his career, Muybridge was a Western landscape photographer operating in California under the name Helios. He was then invited to photograph horses in motion by Leland Stanford and invented a way to project a sequence of these pictures on a screen, now considered the first motion picture using photographic images. Muybridge also was the co-inventor of the electronic shutter, necessary for him to capture motion at high speeds. $25.

123b. Muybridge, Edweard. River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge
and the Technological Wild West by Rebecca Solnit. Viking, 2003.
1st printing, hardcover with dust jacket. 305 pages. Illustrated.
In this notable volume, Solnit, a gifted writer, provides a compelling
narrative placing Muybridge, who was a leader in Western landscape
photography and an innovator in the field of motion pictures,
in the context of his times. "Rebecca Solnit is one of the
most agile, protean, and consistently (jaw-droppingly) fascinating
writers of the current generation; and with this, her latest
and finest work, that crusty old shape-shifter Eadweard Muybridge
may finally have met his match. . . . she writes like an angel."
Lawrence Weschler. "[A] brilliant essay on Muybridge and
all he begat....RIVER OF SHADOWS is never less than deeply intelligent,
and often very close to inspired....It belongs to that wondrous
class of books -- like William Gass's ON BEING BLUE and Anne
Carson's EROS THE BITTERSWEET -- in which an extraordinary mind
seizes hold of an unexpected topic and renders it with such confidence,
subtlety and grace that one finds it hard to remember what things
looked like before the book appeared in the world." New
York Times Book Review - Jim Lewis (03/30/2003).
"Her sweeping narrative situates Muybridge within the
history of California as a place of technological innovation
and epitome of westward expansion and renvention. Solnit, a highly
original voice with an eloquent prose style, has published numerous
works focusing on California artists, the American West, and
landscape. River of Shadows benefits from her keen understanding
of nineteenth- and twentieth-century history and reflects back
on the author's other subject interests." Sarah Ziebell
Mann, Moving Image, Fall 2004. "[I]t is hard to do justice
to Solnit's far-reaching perspective....Her prose, terse and
poetic, makes the book a pleasurably dizzying experience." 124. Mydans, Carl and Michael Demarest. China. A Visual Adventure. Simon & Schuster, 1979.
