Animal Locomotion: An Electro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements: Prospectus and Catalogue of Plates

With a view to supplying the demand of art and of science students, it was decided to select a number of the most important plates which were in the work published in 1887 with the title: Animal locomotion (which contained 20,000 figures) and republish them on a reduced scale. The selected plates in this volume demonstrate certain facts which occur in regular sequence, with uniform intervals of time during the accomplishment of some act of motion thus enabling the phases which characterise the transition from one period of movement to another period to be leisurely studied.
