WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 
Departement of Zoopraxography. 
ANNOUNCEMENT. 
By invitation of the FINE ARTS COMMISSION of the 
World’s Columbian Exposition, Mr. EADWEARD MUYRBRIDGE 
will give at intervals, from May to October, 1893, in the Zoo- 
praxographical Hall of the Exposition, a series of Lectures on the 
Science of Animal Locomotion, especially in its relation to Design 
in Art. 
These Lectnres will be given under the auspices of the 
United States Government BURFAU OF EDUCATION, and will 
be based on the elaborate work — »Animal Locomotion« — 
containing the results of the electro-photographic investigation of 
the movements of animals, made by Mr. Muybridge for the 
UNIVERSITY OF PENSYL VANIA. 
From the investigations of Mr. Muybridge — which were 
commenced in 1872 — originated the Science of Zoopraxography , 
and Lectures and demonstrations on this subject have been given 
by the Author at nearly all the principal Institutions of Science, 
Art, and Education in the United States and in Europe. 
It is a subject of the most profound importance to the 
Scientist and the Artist, and has been universally recognized as 
of the greatest interest of the general public. 
Although it is probable that the present series oF Lectures 
may not be unworthy the attention of the Philosopher, they will 
be free from technicalities, and adapted not merely for the instruc- 
tion, but also for the entertainment of popular and juvenile audiences. 
The illustrations will comprise a selection of consecutive phases 
of movements by Men, Women, Children, Horses, Dogs, Cats, 
Wild Animals, and Birds, photographed while they were running, 
jumping, boxing, dancing, galloping, trotting, kicking, flying, or 
engaged in other muscular exercises. They will be projected by 
the electric light on a large screen, and after an analysis, the 
successive phases will be combined, and put in motion with the 
semblance of actual life by the ZOOPRAXISCOPE. 
The differences between a true and a false impression of 
animal movements will be demonstrated by illuminated projections 
of the works of many eminent Painters and Sculptors of Ancient 
and Modern times. 
For a synopsis of the Lectures, and arrangements for the 
admissions of Associations, Colleges, Art Schools, and other special 
audiences, address
