Featuring five lenticular images
Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1900) is famous for his invention of very fast photographic techniques, and the discovery of how animals and people walk and run. For more than a century people have marvelled at his series of 'Locomotion' images, which depict horses, cats, and people moving in their natural instinctive ways. He was able to show the specific elements of our motion, so that they can be studied and understood.
Muybridge and the Riddle of Locomotion is aimed at young readers and uses a combination of text, printed reproductions of Muybridge's classic photos, and lenticular images to tell the history of these discoveries. The lenticular images contained in the book - of a man, a horse, a cat, and more - will thrill and intrigue young readers, firstly by the 'magic' of lenticular images and their suggested motion, and also through the telling of the history of an enigmatic genius who invented fast photography and opened the door to the invention of moving images.
