<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7169005, member: 110350&quot;]Gorgeous coins, everyone. Thanks for posting them! It&#039;s interesting to me that on a number of the father&#039;s coins, including mine, Apollo&#039;s nose seems to begin right up near his hairline! On the son&#039;s coins, the profile tends to be a little more naturalistic. Perhaps it was the influence of those putatively Greek engravers Hersh extols!</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER], I clearly remember reading about the Muybridge experiment in a book called &quot;Archaeology of the Cinema,&quot; by C.W. Ceram, that I was given when I was 11 or so because of my interest in old movies. (Not quite that old, usually!)&nbsp; It seems that there were others conducting all sorts of photographic experiments at the time, like Marey in France and Anschutz in Germany, so I&#039;m sure that someone else would have figured out how horses ran before too much longer, even absent Muybridge. Especially given that it was apparently a subject of discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears, by the way, that cats do entirely leave the ground. But I think everyone knew that already, even before Muybridge!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1274695[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
