Nikola Tesla in His Lab Shower Curtain

This iconic image is the ultimate explanation for the modern fascination with Nikola Tesla. I mean look at this guy. He manipulates the power of electricity like a Victorian Zeus, god of thunder, and he's just chilling out reading a book next to it like it's no big thing. If you have a room that's lacking a certain je ne sais quoi, it's probably due to a woeful lack of SCIENCE! which can only be truly captured in this majestic historical photo. Not pictured: the handcart required to transport this dude's tremendous stones. Modified from the Original By Photographer: Dickenson V.
