Summary:

"This book presents a full selection of Muybridge's documentary photographs from the material he took in Alaska, the beautiful Yosemite Valley, Central America and wherever his travels took him, to his coverage of the Modoc Indian War in northern California, which is as exciting technically as it is important historically. The other part of the book deals extensively with Muybridge's huge array of 'movement' pictures. The appendices include a technical appraisal of Muybridge's methods and an account of his famous trial."-- From jacket.
