Vintage Stop Action Carbon Prints

Cat Stop Action Dog Stop Action

Ran across a vintage stop action carbon print circa 1900 that I thought was intriguing. I just couldn’t resist animating the frames to see the motion. Here’s the original image, nothing earth shattering…just for fun.

    Wow – Amazing. I think the photos were for a study of animal locomotion. On the original stop action sheet, Cat photo #6 is labeled “maximum effort”, and dog photo #4 is labeled as maximum effort.

    I thought all the notes on the sheet were quite interesting. It would have been great to see any additional sheets they had produced as part of the study! Thanks for the comment!
