To prove Marey?[edit]

Perhaps Marey thought so, as many people, but he was hired by Leland Stanford, who thought the same thing.--Jbaranao (talk) 22:54, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Let's clarify the timeline. Marey provided instrumented proof that the horses foot left the ground while galloping in La Machine Animale - see Chapter VI, starting on Page 171. (https://archive.org/details/lamachineanimale00mare/page/170/mode/2up)

Dr. John H. Lienhard clarifies in his article on Marey & Muybridge that Stanford wanted photographic proof of the horse suspended in the air, and hired Muybridge to do the work. (https://engines.egr.uh.edu/episode/826)

So, this section of the article might better be stated as:

The English photographer Eadweard Muybridge was commissioned by Leland Stanford to conduct his "Photographic Investigation" in Palo Alto, California, to photographically confirm Marey's data showing that a all of a galloping horse's hooves left the ground for a brief moment. Muybridge published his photos in 1878 to worldwide acclaim. Gogowinston (talk) 03:34, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
