These long arcs were not a feature of the normal operation of the coil because they wasted energy; for these photos Tesla forced the machine to produce arcs by switching the power rapidly on and off. The photo was part of a publicity spread taken by photographer Dickinson Alley in December 1899 to accompany his magazine article Nikola Tesla ...

Tesla invented the Tesla coil during efforts to develop a "wireless" lighting system, with gas discharge light bulbs that would glow in an oscillating electric field from a high voltage, high frequency power source. [11] [8] For a high frequency source Tesla powered a Ruhmkorff coil (induction coil) with his high frequency alternator.
A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891. [1] It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity. [2] [3] Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits.
The photo was part of a publicity spread taken by photographer Dickinson Alley in December 1899 to accompany Tesla's magazine article Nikola Tesla, "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy", Century Magazine, The Century Co., New York, June 1900, fig. 8; a version without Tesla appears in the article.

English: Circuit diagram of a modern unipolar W:Tesla coil, a spark-excited resonant transformer circuit which produces high frequency high voltage alternating current at low current levels. It was invented by Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891.
A photo of Nicola Tesla's work, a pioneer in AC electric power generation and distribution, and co-inventor of the Induction motor. Also known for Tesla coil, Tesla (unit) and Tesla (car). This is probably the most iconic photo of his work. At the time, the photo was used to promote his work.
