Bibliothèque mondiale du cheval

« […] This book is the result of an unusually elaborate investigation thus conducted during the past four years under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania. In 1883 it was found that Mr. E. Muybridge, who was the first successfully to apply instantaneous photography to the study of Animal Motion, had long cherished the desire of making a new and greatly extended study of the subject, but had been deterred by the want of means. An extensive photographic plant, elaborate electrical and mechanical apparatus, access to typical animals of many kinds, much space for the erection of laboratories, and a large fund for current expenses were needed.
