  • Prestige, Professionalism, and the Paradox of Eadweard Muybridge's
    Prestige, Professionalism, and the Paradox of Eadweard Muybridge’s Animal Locomotion Nudes N 1878, EADWEARD MUYBRIDGE’S serial photographs of trotting and galloping horses stunned artists, scientists, and critics in the United IStates and Europe (fig. 1). Muybridge’s camera revealed equine bodies frozen mid-leap in positions never before detected by the human eye or captured on film. When viewed in quick succession, the serial photo- graphs reanimated motion and the subjects sprang to life. Nine years later, the culmination of Muybridge’s motion studies was published in Philadelphia under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania. Animal Locomotion: An Electro-photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements, 1872–1885, comprised 781 nineteen-by-twenty-four-inch collotype plates, each of which contained between twelve and thirty-six frames, resulting in a total of approximately twenty thousand images.1 Of the 781 plates, 514 depicted adult men and women in motion; 5 focused on the movement of an adult male hand; 27 captured abnormal male and female movement; 16 represented children; and 219 depicted animals, including horses, birds, and various other wild and domestic animals. Notably, approximately 340 of the series featured fully nude men and women performing daily activities before a gridded backdrop. Populating the first four volumes and part of volume eight of the eleven-volume publication, the male nudes ran, jumped, rowed, and swung bats (fig. 2) while the females swept, served tea, made beds, and danced, among other activities (fig. 3). The author would like to express her gratitude to the Library Company of Philadelphia, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, and Northwestern University for their generous support.

  • To Center City: the Evolution of the Neighborhood of the Historicalsociety of Pennsylvania
    From "Frontier"to Center City: The Evolution of the Neighborhood of the HistoricalSociety of Pennsylvania THE HISToRICAL SOcIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA found its permanent home at 13th and Locust Streets in Philadelphia nearly 120 years ago. Prior to that time it had found temporary asylum in neighborhoods to the east, most in close proximity to the homes of its members, near landmarks such as the Old State House, and often within the bosom of such venerable organizations as the American Philosophical Society and the Athenaeum of Philadelphia. As its collections grew, however, HSP sought ever larger quarters and, inevitably, moved westward.' Its last temporary home was the so-called Picture House on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Hospital in the 800 block of Spruce Street. Constructed in 1816-17 to exhibit Benjamin West's large painting, Christ Healing the Sick, the building was leased to the Society for ten years. The Society needed not only to renovate the building for its own purposes but was required by a city ordinance to modify the existing structure to permit the widening of the street. Research by Jeffrey A. Cohen concludes that the Picture House's Gothic facade was the work of Philadelphia carpenter Samuel Webb. Its pointed windows and crenellations might have seemed appropriate to the Gothic darkness of the West painting, but West himself characterized the building as a "misapplication of Gothic Architecture to a Place where the Refinement of Science is to be inculcated, and which, in my humble opinion ought to have been founded on those dear and self-evident Principles adopted by the Greeks." Though West went so far as to make plans for 'The early history of the Historical Soiety of Pennsylvania is summarized in J.Thomas Scharf and Thompson Westcott, Hisiory ofPhiladelphia; 1609-1884 (2vols., Philadelphia, 1884), 2:1219-22.

  • Fairman Rogers and the Age of the Horse
    The Fairman Rogers Collection: An Introduction by Dr. Ann Norton Greene The Fairman Rogers Collection: An Introduction Dr. Ann Norton Greene University of Pennsylvania The Fairman Rogers collection contains materials that provide information about and insight into the horse world of nineteenth century America. The majority of its items were donated to the University of Pennsylvania in 1893 by Fairman Rogers, a prominent Philadelphian and a professor and trustee of the University. The collection’s significance lies in the crucial importance of horses as a source of energy during a period of rapid industrial development. As the United States industrialized, the use of horses increased, with horses providing the majority of power consumed by Americans for most of the century. This large- scale use of horse power contributed to the nation’s economic development and growing prosperity. Industrialization made the use of horses more necessary than before. Americans’ desire for greater mobility led to a growing network of roads and canals, and the proliferation of stagecoach lines, freighting companies, canal boats, and ferries which used horses. However, the greatest surge in horse use resulted from railroad expansion. Steam-powered railroads, or iron horses, were only successful as part of a complementary relationship with real horses. Railroads were efficient at long-distance transport, at which horses were very inefficient, but horses were efficient for short distance transport at which railroads were very inefficient, because of having to power steam locomotives up and down. Additionally, railroads could not accomplish local delivery and transportation, requiring the use of horses to move freight and passengers away from the depot to their final destinations.
