Plate 461 comes from Eadweard Muybridge's *Animal Locomotion*, a large series of sequence photographs showing people and animals in motion. Muybridge made the work in the mid-1880s at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, using banks of cameras that fired in rapid succession to split movement into fractions of a second. The plates were issued in eleven volumes in 1887, and the sequences helped answer long-running questions about how legs and bodies actually move during a stride.
