After emerging they were still strong enough to impress a photographic plate, and Thomson obtained the first pictures of diffraction rings created by electrons...

The "elephant" folio was exquisitely engraved on copper and aquatinted (principally by Robert Havell, who edited as he transcribed Audubon's watercolors, here deleting a leaf-spray, there toning down a garish sunset sky, altogether contributing much artistic merit to the pictures).
