notes: label: Description
content: Eadweard Muybridge’s (English, 1832-1904) landscapes of the American West are considered among the best photographed in the 19th century. Working mostly in the Yosemite valley, Muybridge made mammoth glass plate negatives of many previously unseen vistas. This print (circa 1860, gold toned albumen print 1970s) is from a special centennial anniversary portfolio of modern albumen prints of Muybridge landscape photographs by the Chicago Albumen Works. Muybridge is also well known for his later experiments with motion photography of animals and humans at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1880s.
