He began to experiment using a series of large cameras and placed them in a line, each being triggered by a thread as a horse passed by. He settled the question in 1877. By 1878, after continued the experimentations, he has successfully photographed horse in motion.
In 1880s, the development of the motion picture camera allowed this?
