•The photographer who clicked this is  remembered for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion and in motion-picture projection

•Early in his career he worked as an U.S army commissioned photographer.

•He was a sinister character. In 1874 he shot and killed Major Harry Larkyns, his wife's lover, and was acquitted in a jury trial on the grounds of justifiable homicide.

•He came to the forefront again this year when Google dedicated a doddle to him on his birth day in April.

Who is he ,to whom the movie industry would be forever grateful for being the first person to experiment with moving photos which later gave birth to video?
