The journey to the invention of motion pictures is paved with numerous transitional fossils, showcasing the evolution of capturing images and manipulating the persistence of vision over centuries. The Lumière brothers famously shocked a Lyon crowd with footage of a train, sparking the birth of cinema. However, the new graphic novel “Muybridge” delves deeper into the life of Eadweard Muybridge, a chronophotographer from the Gilded Age who played a pivotal role in the development of early cinema.

The novel not only focuses on Muybridge but also highlights other key figures in the history of photography and cinema, such as the Lumières, Edison, Tesla, and Joseph Plateau. It explores Muybridge’s interactions with influential individuals like royal physician William Gull and his patron Leland Stanford, adding layers of intrigue to his already colorful life story. From documenting the frontier regions of California to capturing iconic images of galloping horses, Muybridge’s work shaped the cultural landscape of the 19th century.

Author Guy Delisle’s cartoony style adds a unique touch to the narrative, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. By incorporating reprints of photos and motion studies, the novel creates a visual contrast between the world as seen through the pen and the camera. Delisle expertly weaves together Muybridge’s personal life with the societal impact of photography, offering a comprehensive look at the era’s changing artistic and commercial landscape.

“Muybridge” also delves into the technical aspects of Muybridge’s work, showcasing how his motion studies paved the way for early film production. Through meticulous attention to detail, Delisle captures pivotal moments in Muybridge’s life, such as his infamous murder trial, in a unique slow-motion style reminiscent of motion studies. This innovative approach not only honors Muybridge’s legacy but also highlights the intrinsic connection between comics and early cinema.

In essence, “Muybridge” is a visual feast that celebrates the life and work of a pioneering figure in the history of photography and cinema. Delisle’s masterful storytelling and artistic interpretation make this comic book a fitting tribute to Muybridge’s groundbreaking contributions to the world of visual storytelling. Available for purchase online and in bookstores, “Muybridge” is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of art, technology, and culture in the 19th century.
