  2. This is from Animal Locomotion plate 111, called "Ascending ladder." The model is model #30, who has been identified as Penn student Thomas Love Latta, whom I featured in a couple of posts in my blog https://unashamedmale.blogspot.com/2022/10/vintage-athletes-part-30.html and https://unashamedmale.blogspot.com/2022/10/vintage-athletes-part-30.html

    2. Many thanks for posting your links. Mr Latta was a bit of an inspiration for me. Especially when I found that he was still alive when I was born.
