Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a series of eight monochrome images showing a horse in motion pulling a cart. Each frame captures the horse at different stages of its trot, with numbered vertical lines in the background for measurement. The images have a vintage, sepia-toned quality, resembling early motion study photography.
