Pioneer photographer Eadweard Muybridge becomes entangled in railroad robber baron Leland Stanford s delusions of grandeur. Tasked with proving Stanford s belief that a horse s hooves do not touch the ground while galloping at full speed, Muybridge gets to work with his camera.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn doing so, he inadvertently creates one of the single most important technological advancements of our age the invention of time-lapse photography and the mechanical ability to capture motion. Critically-acclaimed cartoonist Guy Delisle (Pyongyang, Hostage) returns with another engrossing foray into nonfiction: a biography about Eadweard Muydbridge, the man who made pictures move. Despite career breakthrough after career breakthrough, Muybridge would only be hampered by betrayal, intrigue, and tragedy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDelisle s keen eye for details that often go unnoticed in search of a broader emotional truth brings this historical figure and those around him to life through an uncompromising lens. Translated from the French by Helge Dascher \u0026amp; Rob Aspinall, Muybridge turns a spotlight on what lives in the shadow of an individual s ambition for greatness, and proves that Eadweard Muybridge deserves to be far more than just another historical footnote.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778620109186,"sku":"9781770467729","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/5094\/2446\/files\/9781770467729.jpg?v=1784560783","url":"https:\/\/peeblescomicsandgames.co.uk\/products\/muybridge","provider":"Peebles Comics \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
