Tesla's Electric Laboratory Captured in Double Exposure Photograph

Tesla's Electric Laboratory Captured in Double Exposure Photograph
NIKOLA TESLA IN LAB DOUBLE EXPOSED HUGE BOLTS OF ELECTRICITY 8X10 PHOTO (FB-485)
This famous photograph captures Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla in his laboratory in Colorado Springs around 1899, seemingly sitting next to his giant "magnifying transmitter" high voltage generator amidst bolts of electricity.
The image, a double exposure by photographer Dickenson V. Alley, was a promotional stunt showcasing the machine's impressive sparks.
Despite the visual impact, Tesla himself acknowledged the staged nature of the photo, emphasizing that the discharge was not active during the actual capture.
This historical piece serves as a testament to the creativity and innovation of Tesla's experimental work during that era.
