Footnotes:
Giessler tubes were a popular scientific novelty in the early 20th century, in both English and American markets. When a current is passed through the tube, the contents would be illuminated. The designs became increasingly elaborate, with twisting glass formations and fluorescent liquids adding to their decorative appeal.
