His work was significant in the development of cardiology, physical equipment, aviation, cinematography and the science of laboratory photography. Unlike the motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge, who depicted movement as a series of discrete moments on separate, sequential negatives, Marey's analyses of motion are characterized by multiple exposures on a single photographic plate. He is widely considered to be a pioneer of photography and an influential precursor of the history of cinema. This flipbook features 6 of his most famous studies, such as "Le Vol du Héron" or the “Falling Cat” (1894).
