This man climbing a ladder looks more like one of the U of Pennsylvania student athletes who posed for Muybridge than the working men hired as models. The students, being athletes, generally appeared in sports settings, but I think there had to have been exceptions.
Pretty sure this is Plate 111 "Ascending ladder". If so, the model is #30, who some people have identified as Thomas Love Latta, who was the Captain of the Penn baseball team and was know to have modelled for Muybridge.
ReplyDeleteIt is Plate 111a, and thus likely Mr. Latta, one of the better known identified models.
