Muybridge

"Our world seems to be transforming at a quicker pace than ever, largely due to new and emergent technologies. Like many other people, I’ve taken an increased interest in looking back at the histories of older innovations. Enter this splendid graphic biography of the “father of motion pictures,” Eadweard Muybridge, by the great biographical and travelogue cartoonist Guy Delisle. Muybridge is best known for his 12-panel series of photographs depicting a galloping horse at full speed. This detailed, thoughtful comics biography – which includes reproductions of Muybridge’s groundbreaking photographs – tells a comprehensive story of a man possessed by the possibilities of photographic invention."
