Photographs by Byron Wolfe and Scott Brady
Co-published with Temple University Press

In 1875, after being acquitted for the murder of his wife’s lover, Eadweard Muybridge spent a year photographing along the Central American Pacific Coast, particularly in Guatemala and Panamá. Upon his return to California in 1876, he published a very limited number of albums of the photographs (eleven are known), each of which was unique in size and scope. From 2007 – 2010, photographer BYRON WOLFE (born 1967) tracked down and cataloged every known Muybridge Central American photograph. Working with cultural geographer Scott Brady, they traveled to many of Muybridge’s sites to rephotograph and study them. Through photographic collage, interpretive rephotography, illustrations and essays, this book examines an exceptionally rare series by Muybridge.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days.
