Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. viii, 136 pp; illus. Original cloth, small oblong 4to. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. 'In 1874, still living in the San Francisco Bay Area, Muybridge discovered that his wife had a lover, a Major Harry Larkyns. On 17 October, he sought out Larkyns and said, 'Good evening, Major, my name is Muybridge and here's the answer to the letter you sent my wife'; he then killed the Major with a gunshot. Muybridge was put on trial for murder. One aspect of his defense was a plea of insanity due to a head injury that Muybridge had sustained following his stagecoach accident. Friends testified that the accident dramatically changed Muybridge's personality from genial and pleasant to unstable and erratic. The jury dismissed the insanity plea, but he was acquitted for 'justifiable homicide'. The episode interrupted his horse photography experiment, but not his relationship with Stanford, who paid for his criminal defense. After the acquittal, Muybridge left the United States for a time to take photographs in Central America, returning in 1877. He had his son, Florado Helios Muybridge (nicknamed 'Floddie' by friends), put in an orphanage. Muybridge believed Larkyns to be his son's true father, although as an adult, the son bore a remarkable resemblance to Muybridge. As an adult, Floddie worked as a ranch hand and gardener. In 1904 he was hit by a car in Sacramento and killed' (Wikipedia). Seller Inventory # 20553
