In the 1880s, electricity was still a kind of theatre — glass tubes, glowing currents, and experiments that looked like magic in a Victorian lecture hall. This 1880 “electric discharge in rarefied gases” illustration captures that early-age-of-electricity fascination beautifully, making a striking vintage science print for a study, office, laboratory-inspired space, or a gallery wall of curious antique diagrams.
