Comment(s): Eadweard Muybridge, born Edward James Muggeridge, was an English photographer important for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion and early work in motion-picture projection. He adopted the first name Eadweard as the original Anglo-Saxon form of Edward, and the surname Muybridge believing it to be similarly archaic. [25349-3-225]
