Huell is off to Stanford University to learn about Eadweard Muybridge and
his ground breaking photographs of animal locomotion. With the financial
help of wealthy Leland Stanford, a former California Governor and founder
of Stanford University, Muybridge used multiple cameras to capture
innovative images of animals in motion. His venture, which would make
contributions to art and science, began in 1872 at Stanford’s horse farm
in Palo Alto the future site of Stanford University.
