Muybridge’s Horse in Motion - Historic Photography Sequence #1752628 (License: Personal Use)

Captured in 1878 using a series of triggered cameras, this twelve-panel sequence shows a horse named “Sallie Gardner” ridden by Domm at a 1:40 gait, proving that all four hooves do indeed leave the ground simultaneously during a gallop. The images were part of Muybridge’s pioneering work commissioned by Leland Stanford to scientifically analyze animal locomotion, laying foundational groundwork for motion picture technology.

Used in educational, historical, and cinematic contexts-especially in articles about photography history, biomechanics, or the origins of film. Matches user intent seeking visual evidence of motion studies, historical tech milestones, or STEM teaching resources.
