Setting Photography in Motion Photography became a part of public life in the midth century, especially during the Civil War, when photographers documented American battlefields for the first time.

The photos were taken by an English photographer, Eadweard Muybridge, to settle a bet between California businessman Leland Stanford and his colleagues.

Muybridge's 12 pictures showed that Stanford had won the bet.
