History of Photography and Cinema in Surrey
Edward James Muggeridge
Eadweard Muybridge (9 April 1830 – 8 May 1904), originally named Edward James Muggeridge, was an English photographer renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to the study of motion through photography and early motion-picture projection. He adopted the name “Eadweard,” the original Anglo-Saxon form of “Edward,” and chose the surname “Muybridge” based on his belief that it had an archaic quality.
USA
Born in Kingston upon Thames, England, Muybridge emigrated to the United States as a bookseller at the age of 20, first settling in New York City and later in San Francisco. In 1860, while planning a return trip to Europe, he suffered severe head injuries in a stagecoach accident in Texas. This incident led to a period of recuperation in Kingston upon Thames, during which he delved into professional photography, mastering the wet-plate collodion process and obtaining several British patents for his inventions. He eventually returned to San Francisco in 1867, a changed man.
Exhibition
In 1868, Muybridge exhibited large photographs of Yosemite Valley and began selling popular stereographs of his work. In 1874, he shot and killed Major Harry Larkyns, his wife’s lover, but was acquitted of the crime in a highly controversial jury trial, which deemed it justifiable homicide. In 1875, he embarked on a photographic expedition in Central America that lasted over a year.
Chronophotography
Muybridge’s enduring legacy lies in his pioneering chronophotography of animal locomotion between 1878 and 1886. This innovative technique involved using multiple cameras to capture different positions within a stride. He also developed the zoopraxiscope, a device that projected motion pictures painted on glass discs predating the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography. From 1883 to 1886, Muybridge experienced a remarkably productive period at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, capturing over 100,000 images of animals and humans in motion, often freezing moments imperceptible to the human eye.
Publication Lectures and Demonstrations
During his later years, Muybridge delivered numerous public lectures and demonstrations showcasing his photography and early motion picture sequences. He frequently travelled throughout England and Europe, promoting his work in cities such as London and Paris. Muybridge edited and published compilations of his work, which had a profound impact on visual artists and the burgeoning fields of scientific and industrial photography. He retired to his native England permanently in 1894. In 1904, the year of his death, the Kingston Museum opened in his hometown, housing a significant collection of his works in a dedicated gallery that remains accessible to this day.

Visit Surrey’s illustrious parks and gardens to discover the work of some of England’s most esteemed landscape gardeners who, over the ages, have been responsible for some of Britain’s most elegant and dramatic landscapes.
‘Capability’ Brown, “England’s greatest gardener”, transformed country estates and mansions across Britain. You can see his influence in the 260 acres of Gatton Park near Reigate, in the grounds of Claremont Landscape Gardens in Esher, Hampton Court Palace Gardens at East Molesey and at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
Surrey was also home to the Edwardian horticulturalist, Gertrude Jekyll, who is still admired today as one of England’s great garden designers.
Her designs can be seen at the immaculate Vann near Hambledon and her former home of Munstead Wood near Godalming, both of which open by appointment at various times throughout the year. The garden at Goddards in Abinger, which can be booked for holidays through the Landmark Trust, is another example.
