Abstract
This article discusses how two physicists - Etienne-Jules Marey and Friedrich Ahlborn - visualized turbulence in air and water around 1900. Their depictions are based upon several creative andconceptual presuppositions that can be revealed by comparing the work of the two, each of whomemployed a field of parallel-aligned lines to depict results. Their similar means of visualizing comparablephenomena turn out to function differently, however, depending on the differences in the ways theselines were conceived and made.
