Muybridge, Eadweard (1830-1904). A group of 32 stereoviews of the Yosemite Valley, ca 1860s-70s.

Largest, 178 x 102 mm. Various views of Cathedral Rocks, Piwyack Cascade, El Capitan, the Three Brothers, the Pohono Trail, Sentinel Falls, and others. Some occasional staining, minor wear to extremities.

Considered a pioneer in motion photography, Eadweard Muybridge is also credited with having developed numerous innovative techniques to improve outdoor photography, many of which were deployed during his earliest excursions to the Yosemite Valley in the late 1860s. Beginning in the 1870s he began to experiment with motion photography; his "Horse in Motion" series is generally considered to be the first example of chronophotography, which paved the wave for development of the motion picture.

[With:] Muybridge. A stereoview of a "Bust of California (Powers) at Woodward's Gardens."
