Description
Photographic portrait of Eadweard Muybridge, pioneer of early action photography, 1872-1878. The portrait, taken fifteen years after Muybridge had successfully taken the famous photographic action series of Leland Stanford's horse, depicts the artist seated in a chair with his hands folded in his lap. He wears a suit and gazes to the left. His long white hair and beard are in disarray, his intense eyes set deep into his head and veiled in shadow. He tilts his head to the side, making him look partially infirm or deranged. A note on the picture file card reads: "(Griffin?)".
