Top and perspective views of a graphic representation of the periodic table of chemical elements in the style of a helix and space lemniscate with an additional loop for the rare earth elements. This table was originated by Karl Schirmeisen in 1900 and and classified by Mazurs as Type IIIA3-2 in his seminal work Types of Graphic Representation of the Periodic System of Chemical Elements (1957). This illustration appears as Figure 69 on page 136 of Mazurs' 1957 publication.
