History buffs and true crime fans, this one's for you — the most San Franciscan of stories. It features a historic tech innovator, sex, mental illness, Stanford money, pet videos and murder.
Close 1 of 2 Eadweard Muybridge English photographer Eadweard Muybridge, who helped to invent moving pictures in San Francisco in the late 1800s by photographing animals and people in motion.
It features a historic tech innovator, sex, mental illness, Stanford money and pet videos. And because this is a tale from history, the entire thing is being recalled. The same year he put up the sign, Muybridge married Flora Shallcross Stone, who at 21 was half his age. Theirs was not a close marriage. Flora liked the theater, Edweard did not, and Flora became friends with a dashing theater critic named Harry Larkyns. Then they became more than friends. Muybridge warned Larkyns to end the relationship, and Larkyns moved to Calistoga.
In a brief note on Page 3 of the Oct. 2, 1877, Examiner, it was noted that a photographic print had been made of “the racer Occident as photographed by Muybridge in less than the one-thousandth part of a second.” A month later The Examiner referred to Muybridge as “the noted photographic artist of this city who has accomplished the extraordinary feat of accurately photographing trotting and running horses at highest speed.”
