"Descriptive Zoopraxography; or, the science of animal locomotion made popular" by Eadweard Muybridge is a late 19th-century scientific exploration employing photography to dissect animal movement. It showcases Muybridge's research, concentrating on the mechanics of quadrupeds, especially horses, and its historical artistic depictions. Gaits of animals are systematically laid out with photographic documentation to allow the scientific and artistic communities understand animal movement and enhance accuracy in artistic representations via the Zoöpraxiscope, an image projection device developed by Muybridge.
