When working on a new art project, dedicated to Bondage, I stumbled upon using a ladder for spankings.
A short ladder can be used for a spanking in the bent-over-object position, like a trestle or barstool, as shown in the cartoon by Dave Ell. Padding on top of the ladder is recomendable for a more comfortable position.
A step ladder with a platform to lie over can be used like a spanking bench.
The Swedish Ladder, also known as wall bars, is a ladder-like gymnastics apparatus mounted on a wall. It was invented in the early 1800s by Per Henrik Ling (1776-1839) and improved by his son Hjalma Ling (1820-1886).
A longer ladder, Swedish Ladder or step-ladder can be used for bondage in a similar way as the Berkley Horse or a St. Andrew’s cross.

So it seemed like a nice idea to try and find artwork from various vintage artists using a ladder in their spanking artworks.
Artists presented that can be viewed at my other site as well:
Gaston Smit, Louis Malteste, Leon Pierre, Carlo, G. Whips, Cheri Herouard

The use of ladders as an aid to spanking is a wonderful addition, you may have noticed that the lovely Rosaleen Young used the ladder to good effect in some of her sets.

Now you mention it I did know that from Rosaleen. In Art I love to see the ladder being used.
