Légende

Skeleton of horse, contact with the ground whilst running, 1881. Eadweard Muybridge made several series of different horses performing several gaits. The photographs showed that all four feet are sometimes simultaneously off the ground and that when galloping this occurs when the feet are "gathered" beneath the body, not when the fore and hindlimbs are "extended" as sometimes depicted in older paintings. Muybridge (1830-1904) was a British photographer known for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion, and early work in motion-picture projection. From "The Attitudes of Animals in Motion" by Eadweard Muybridge, [London, 1881].
