Honestly amazing to see the actual thing. I saw the illustration and thought “did they actually build it like that?”
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, here is an article with pictures of the second gas holder in the modern times, and during renovations.
I can't post is separately here as I don't know the copyright status of the images:

There is a close up photo of the decoration on top, so you can see the work that went into it.
My earlier source also have a photo showing the wooden scaffolding that was used to build these amazing structures, taken at the time of construction.
