Description (What the record is about)
-
Photographs registered at Stationers Hall on behalf of Eadweard Muybridge. Motion pictures: 501-600.
Registration forms, and accompanying photographic sheets for human and animal motion studies 501 to 600 produced by Eadward Muybridge. These sheets were maintained by the Clerks at Stationers Hall in separate bundles and not as part of the established sequence of photograph registrations.
For each of the photographs described in this sequence the copyright owner and author is noted as Eadweard Muybridge, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, present place of abode University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, United States of America. The registration forms were signed on behalf of Muybridge by his attorney, John James Atkinson, 25 April 1887. The forms were registered at Stationers Hall on 20 May 1887.
Muybridge preferred the term 'Plate' to describe a sheet of photograph images. This term has been kept only when used in the original description.
Researchers should also note that the majority of the studies of human motion were undertaken to show anatomical movement, so the subject will be shown without clothing. Where that is not the case the subject will be referred to as 'dressed'.
