"This image works on both a scientific and artistic level. When Heinrich Geissler first began producing the gas-discharge glass tubes in 1857, it was little more than a curiosity. But practical application soon caught up and Geissler’s tubes eventually contributed to the development of neon and fluorescent lighting. Where would Time’s Square be without Heinrich Geissler!"

"I love this picture because it perfectly captures both the atmosphere of a lazy afternoon in the tropics, and the elegance of the Edwardian era."
