"One of the most important contributions to the history of photography, Eadweard Muybridge's series of motion studies is standard viewing for anyone interested in the field. Muybridge and Mobility presents fresh perspectives on this iconic series and challenges readers to think of it in new ways."--Steven Hoelscher, Professor of American Studies and Geography, University of Texas at Austin
"Muybridge and Mobility offers fresh insight into this famous photographer. Tim Cresswell and John Ott mine Muybridge's photographs for overlooked phenomena of the Gilded Age: the integration of Black athletes into professional sports and the initiation of a scientific culture of surveillance."--Wendy Jean Katz, author of Humbug! The Politics of Art Criticism in New York City's Penny Press
