More DescriptionÉtienne-Jules Marey revealed to the human eye what it cannot naturally see; changing not only science, but cinema and art too. His poetic book, titled La Méthode Graphique, was the first major treatise on data graphics and has been treasured by insiders for over a century.This volume publishes the first English translation of The Graphic Method, Part One. It is illustrated with photography of Marey's original fifty-one figures. New margin notes about historic scientists and technologies by Georges Hattab and RJ Andrews complement their translation.The translation is introduced by a new essay on Marey's life by Marta Braun, historian of chronophotography. The book concludes with a colorful survey of rare information graphics referenced by Marey, presented with comparative analysis between his figures and the work he sampled.
