More about the book

Excerpt from The Attitudes of Animals in Motion, Illustrated With the Zoopraxiscope A. Few eminent artists, notable among whom is Meissonier, have endeavoured in depicting the slower movements of animals to invoke the aid of truth instead of imagination to direct their pencil, but with little encouragement from their critics until recently, however, artists and critics alike have necessarily had to depend upon their observation alone to justify their conceptions or to support their theories.
