On Saturday 6 November, The National Archives at Kew will be holding a FREE
exhibition to mark the centenary of the death of photographer Edweard
Muybridge. Muybridge was the first photographer to prove that when a horse
gallops all four hooves are off the ground and not splayed apart, as artists
had painted them before.
An exhibition of Muybridge's photographs, including an animation of his
famous galloping horse, will be on display. It will also include:
* The Attitudes of Animals in Motion collection from
1881 - a collection of photographs taken by Muybridge showing the movement
of animals and athletes
* Animal Locomotion 1887 - a collection of photographs
showing the movement of animals and humans, including the Galloping Horse
and a number of Muybridge's Zoetrope* designs
This free exhibition will take place in The National Archives from 10.00
until 16.00. Booking is not necessary for this event.
