Recently learned this is a double exposure image. They took an exposure in an unlit room for the lightning, then put Tesla in there reading a book and took the second exposure.

This photo is so famous yet I never knew this fact about it. Thanks!

Someone probably claimed AI, and then someone else was forced to correct them based on Cunningham's Law.

I didn't know it was double exposure, too.
