There are only a few Muybridge plates in my collection that show a model from all four directions. Having found and posted a snippet from this one in the past, I was pleased to find the full version. What puzzled me, however, was why Muybridge (or some subsequent curator) did not arrange them so that they flowed down the page. I had to crop the above and align them to show the sequence.
The original display of these can be a little disjointed. Some are "retakes", so not an actual series.
ReplyDeleteFor future reference, how can you tell they weren't all shot at the same time? The only difference I see is that the ground coloration is a bit different.
DeleteSome time ago, Tate Britain Gallery had a Muybridge exhibition. I attended a related talk. The speaker pointed out a number of discrepancies in several of the series.
DeleteOh, I suppose they would know.
