Top and perspective views of a graphic representation of the periodic table of chemical elements in the style of a space lemniscate. This table was originated by British chemist and physicist Sir William Crookes (1832-1919) in 1898 and and classified by Mazurs as Type IIA1-2 in his seminal work Types of Graphic Representation of the Periodic System of Chemical Elements (1957). This illustration appears as Figure 43 on page 119 of Mazurs' 1957 publication.
