- Description:
- A series of 32 prints, 16 of each animal, illustrating the successive motions of the animal at approximately equal periods. The photographs illustrate the animals' ability to judge with great nicety the amount of power required to cleat the obstacle, effected in both instances with a remarkably small allowance of space. Each animal alights on one fore paw only, the other being advanced before the moment of contract. Each animal alike takes a step forward with fore paws alone to bring the hindquaters free of the obstacle as they fall. Exposure, cat 1/1200 sec., dog 1/5100 sec.
