I found this group of photos by Albert Londe on an internet auction site that had recently sold a group of contact sheets by classic physique era photographers. They mistakenly labeled this as a contact sheet when it was actually a motion study series by Prof. Londe.
Sort of out of topic, but I recently watched a video on the original of motion pictures. Was surprised to see Muybridge was featured as one of the pionners in the ability to capture movement. It was quite a challenge back then because exposure times were quite long for each frame. That video did not mention the series of naked men animations.
ReplyDeleteMuybridge laid the foundation for much of the motion picture technology.

DeleteMany of Ed Muybridge's subjects were University of Pennsylvania students from the mid to late 1880s. Unfortunately, my grandfather, Thomas Boylan, Sr. was Class of 1899, probably too late. I don't have any photos of any kind of him.
DeleteJim, the U of PA was photo happy in the late 19th C., so I thought there would surely be at least a group shot of the Class of 1899. But no. How odd.
DeleteYes, the official name of printing multiple photos on one sheet is called "mosaic" layout.
ReplyDeleteAlso, stringing several photos together to show one larger image is photo-mosaic. (say, piecing together several pics, to show the Coney Island Cyclone.)
Thanks.
