Biography of Eadweard Muybridge

   Edward James Muggeridge was born on April 9, 1830 to John and Susan Muggeridge of Kingston upon Thames, England.  When Muybridge was 20, he was an immigrant from England.  He was a bookseller in New York then went to San Fransisco to start photography in 1855.  Then at that time, he changed his name as Muybridge.  He produced a wide array of panoramic landscape photographs, most famously of Yosemite Valley, and traveled to Alaska to photograph the Tlingit people.  During a break from his photographic research in the 1870s, Muybridge took several photographic expeditions in and around California. On one of these, his wife, Flora, had an affair with Major Harry Larkyns, a drama critic. Believing that Larkyns had fathered the couple's recently born son, Muybridge tracked him down, and shot and killed him. At his trial for murder in 1875, several witnesses testified that Muybridge's personality had changed after the accident.
