An old engraving showing an electrical ‘fright’ effect on a doll’s head from the 1800s. It is from Victorian book of the 1890s on sports, games and pastimes. By using a frictional electrical machine, an electrical current produced, conducted to the doll, will make the fake hair on its head stand on end.
