In order to understand better the pathology of mental disease a very rich collection of pathologic material was gathered together over the past century at the Blackburn Laboratory of Pathology at Saint Elizabeths Hospital. This drawing of an endothelial sarcoma of the dura mater (inner lining of the brain and spinal cord) was made by portrait artist and neurologist Isaac Blackburn, the first chief of the pathology laboratory. Numerous reports of neuropathologic changes in patients who died with a variety of nervous and mental diseases in the hospital were published by researchers at the Blackburn Laboratory.
