Plate Number 747. Baboon walking on all fours

Eadweard Muybridge

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a baboon in motion. The black and white image is divided into four horizontal rows, each containing frames showing the progression of the baboon walking. The setting includes a grid-lined background on the left side. Each frame captures a moment in the baboon's stride, showcasing variations in leg and arm positioning as it moves from left to right. The documentation appears detailed, potentially for studying movement mechanics or animation.
