Description:
John Willis Mason (1829 - 1901) was a patient in the Royal Edinburgh Hospital periodically between 1864 and his death in the Asylum in 1901, having also been a patient of Millholme House in Musselburgh, Crichton Royal Hospital in Dumfries, and Sunnyside Asylum in Montrose. This scrapbook is the later of two created by Mason that were collected by the Physician Superintendent of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, Thomas Clouston (1840 - 1915). Clouston collected patient artwork and writings in order to further his understanding of mental illness. Mason was a prolific writer and artist, patenting a world clock, editing the Asylum magazine (The Morningside Mirror), taking part in the Literary Society and producing numerous sketches and watercolours. This sheet was found inside the scrapbook, and appears to have been used by Mason in his plans for his patented World Clock.
