The Inventor and the Tycoon by Edward Ball

Wonderful book about the lives of Eadweard Muybridge and Leland Stanford. Muybridge, who died in 1904, is the guy who made those wonderful movies showing, among other things, gorgeous naked male athletes in motion. This one of the tennis player (see below) is one of my all-time favorites. Stanford was a Governor of California and was the multi-millionaire who helped fund some of Muybridge's work.

The Inventor and the Tycoon by Edward Ball.  Great book! Highly recommend!😊
