The Story in the Margin
This famous photograph shows the inventor Nikola Tesla sitting calmly and reading in his Colorado Springs laboratory as vast bolts of artificial lightning crackle around him. It was a carefully staged double exposure — a piece of showmanship from the visionary of alternating current, and an enduring image of the electrical age's mad genius.

This has gotten more compliments than anything else we own. The balance of light and dark in Tesla in His Lab, 1899 came out better than I expected. Very happy with the purchase.
My whole family has opinions about the house and everyone agreed on this one. The shading in Tesla in His Lab, 1899 has a depth I never noticed in books. 👌
I wanted something for the powder room that nobody else would have, and this is it. This one is staying with us a long time.
It does its job in the hallway without doing anything special. The subject of Tesla in His Lab, 1899 carries this more than the reproduction does. It fits the hallway without adding much to it. I will probably keep it and I might not.
Thank you for the balanced review. The shipping times you describe are longer than we want, and we are moving to a faster service this fall.
My order came a day early, which never happens. I have wanted a good version of Tesla in His Lab, 1899 for a long time and this is very close.
