Eadweard J. Muybridge (9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904) was an English photographer who spent much of his life in the United States. He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip.

The above Eadweard Muybridge returning to his home at no. 2 Liverpool Road, Kingston upon Thames shows four naked figures of Muybridge crossing Liverpool Road - Muybridge regularly used himself as a model for his photographic experiments. The scene is reminiscent of the famous Abbey Road album cover by the Beatles. A warning sign in the background shows animated images from Muybridge's famous photographic series 'The Horse in Motion'.
This is so wonderful that I wanted to share it. I hope this steers some people your way.
