The Horse in Motion by Eadweard Muybridge.

Galloping horse, animated in 2006, using photos by Eadweard Muybridge.

Eadweard Muybridge took up professional photography in 1861, "Muybridge is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion in 1877 and 1878, which used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop-motion photographs, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography."

He has produced over 100,000 images of animals and humans in motion, capturing what the human eye could not as separate movements.
