Muybridge often chose models for this study who had, in his words, “a
well-earned record in the particular feat selected for illustration.”
The model in the series below, dated July 6, 1885, is Percy C. Madeira.
Detailed records regarding a model’s physical characteristics, as well
as how much some models were paid, were kept in notebooks during the project.
Muybridges outdoor studio and a camera,
seen in the cyanotypes, have been cropped in the final print. The circled
laterals have been included in the print. Those crossed out have been
omitted.
