Plate Number 730. Tigress walking and turning around

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a tiger walking. The image shows a series of black and white photos capturing the movement of the tiger as it walks forward through a narrow passage surrounded by walls. The photographs are organized in two horizontal rows with six frames in each row, showing the progressive motion of the tiger from left to right in the top row and continuing from left to right in the bottom row. Each frame provides a different perspective of the tiger's gait.
