About This Item
New York: Grossman Publishers. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1975. First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [light shelfwear to bottom edge, slight exposure of boards at lower corners, no other significant wear; the jacket is a bit scuffed, with a little array of light surface-scratches in the middle of the front panel, very slight dog-earing at base of spine]. (B&W photographs, other illustrations) "This first full-scale biography of Eadweard Muybridge fills in the details of an extraordinary life -- controversy, scandal, trial for the murder of his wife's lover -- and against this backdrop examines the remarkable progress of Muybridge's photographic work. His efforts in California in the 1870s and the success he achieved in his work at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1880s -- most notably his experiments in the photography of movement -- stimulated interest among scientists, inventors, and artists throughout the world, and thus led directly to the invention of the motion picture." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
