Eadweard Muybridge• Eadweard Muybridge was an English photographer

known for his work with landscapes, panorama and motion photography. Muybridge started a career as a publisher's agent for the London Printing and Publishing Company, and as a bookseller. Muybridge rapidly became successful in photography, focusing principally on landscape and architectural subjects, as did other prominent men, when the West was the land of imagination. In 1879, Muybridge invented the zoopraxiscope. The zoopraxiscope is an early device for displaying motion pictures. It projected images from rotating glass disks in rapid succession to give the impression of motion.
