Reason
Renominating this. I removed the handwritten inscription per discussion in
previous nomination. A photo of
Nicola Tesla's work, a pioneer in AC electric power generation and distribution, and co-inventor of the
Induction motor. Also known for
Tesla coil,
Tesla (unit) and
Tesla (car). This is probably the most iconic photo of his work. At the time, the photo was used to promote his work. In this photo he is sitting in his laboratory in Colorado Springs, U.S., next to his
magnifying transmitter. This photo is still used in books and articles
[1][2][3]. The photo was shot in multiple-exposures (i.e. the film was exposed with and without him present).

User:Charlesjsharp You are wrong. It's the other way around, the one with writing was "edited" at the time the print was made - the area was dodged out during printing, to leave space for a hand-written note. Proof: put both images in their own tabs, switch between them. You can see that the one with the writing has the floor lightened, but the same floor details are there in both versions. Do it and you see why I support. --

I see what you mean, but can we be sure that there is no version with the original floorboards? That seems unlikely. Surely more likely that we have only seen retouched images.

I think these are the original floorboards, since they are the same in both images, lightened and not. Back then, you could hardly "clone" photo details, and the one with writing is definitely from 1901 - dated by Tesla himself... ;-) --
