Around the year 1910, a patient at State Lunatic Asylum No. 3 (subsequently State Hospital No. 3) in Nevada, Missouri, who we refer to as THE ELECTRIC PENCIL, executed 284 drawings in ink, pencil, crayon and colored pencil. The drawings were done on both sides of 140 ledger pages, each bearing the name of the hospital.  They were sewn into a hand made fabric and leather album.  Lost for a century , this amazing collection of drawings has recently come to light.
