The Figure in Sequential Images

Artist's Model by John Everard, F.I.B.P.

Plate 73

In 1951 The Bodley Head, London published a book of photographs by John Everard, F.I.B.P., which Charles Simpson in an introduction compares favorably to the work of Eadweard Muybridge. Then he goes on to point out that he asked John Everard if he was familiar withn Muybridge's work and Simpson says he never heard of him.
The book is divided into several sections, the first and largest section is a series of photographs of models with one large dramatically lit photograph and twelve smaller evenly lit photographs of the model from 360 degrees.

Another Reference -A few years ago, I came across some old, musty books by a British photographer named John Everard. After leafing through them, I bought the whole lot immediately. The books, called Artist's Model, Second sitting, and Model in Movement had publication dates from the nineteen fifties, and were sold as reference books for artists although, I'm sure, given the societal constraints at the time, that they were sold to many non-artists as well.
