With an elegant black velvet cover, ‘The Night Climbers of Cambridge’ is an enthralling collaboration between London based Archive of Modern Conflict and French contemporary artist Photography feature – Thomas Mailaender presenting a humorous and adrenalin-filled adventurous account of Cambridge.
The book “The Night Climbers of Cambridge” was orginally published in 1937 by prestigious Chatto&Windus in England, authored by Noel Edward Symington, who went under the name of Whipplesnaith – an alias that combined the Middle English verb Whipple (meaning to move around quickly) and is known to be the first documentation of urban climbing.The alternative term “night climbing” was introduced in the late 1930s, and has become the standard term since though climbing on the walls and roofs of colleges was nothing new.
