The book focuses on the mechanics of animal motion, particularly that of quadrupeds like horses, using innovative photographic techniques to analyze and depict their movements. Muybridge's work represents a significant advancement in the understanding of motion in the animal kingdom, influenced by the scientific and artistic inquiries of his time. In this publication, Muybridge meticulously describes various gaits and movements of horses, including walking, trotting, cantering, galloping, and leaping. He provides detailed analyses based on photographic evidence obtained through the use of the zoopraxiscope, a machine he created to project images of motion. By examining and breaking down the sequential positioning of the limbs during different types of movement, Muybridge aims to clarify misconceptions held not only by artists but also by horsemen about animal locomotion. The book serves to bridge the gap between art and science, illustrating the aesthetics of motion while also grounding them in rigorous observation and experimentation.
