Animal Locomotion, Series 754, Plate 63 (glass plate positive)

A glass plate positive mounted on a rust-red board within a grey frame, divided into a grid of rectangular sections in rows, with faint, pale images, cracks, and deteriorated silver emulsion visible. A color calibration strip sits at the right edge, and the grid of small sequential frames suggests a multi-exposure photographic sequence.
