Synopsis
Excerpt from Animals in Motion: An Electro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Progressive Movements
IN the spring of the year 1872, while the author was directing the photographic surveys of the United States Government on the Pacific Coast, there was revived in the city of San Francisco a controversy in regard to animal locomotion, which we may infer, on the authority of Plato, was warmly argued by the ancient Egyptians, and which probably had its origin in the studio of the primitive artist when he submitted to a group of critical friends his first etching of a mammoth crushing through the forest, or of a reindeer grazing on the plains.
In this modern instance, the principal subject of dispute was the possibility of a horse, while trotting - even at the height of his speed - having all four of his feet, at any portion of his stride, simultaneously free from contact with the ground.
The attention of the author was directed to this controversy, and he immediately resolved to attempt its settlement.
