Artist, American, born England, 1830 - 1904

This is a series of images showing a walking child. The photographs depict the child in mid-walk from two different angles: a side profile at the top and a rear view at the bottom. The child is shown taking steps in a walking rhythm. The side profile images feature grid lines in the background, potentially for the study of human locomotion. The rear view images have a textured surface and dim lighting. The layout emphasizes the stages of the walking action.
