The Eight 'Kaleidoscope' pictures on load from the Bethlem Royal Hospital, catalogued by Patricia Allderidge.
General note: These pictures have been shown together in one amount for many years and were presumably arranged like this by Dr Maclay. Although it is known that he found 'some' pictures by Louis Wain in a shop in Camden Hill it is not certain how many of these were included, and nothing is known of their origin or when any of them were painted. The order in which they are seen here is entirely artificial.

The lightly sketched background of leaves seems to have more in common with a picture such as *The Cup that Cheers*, illustrated on the cover of Michael Parkin's *Louis Wain's Cats* and dated by him to c.1912, than with the 'wallpaper' designs of the Napsbury period.
