Do you have a picture of the first electric stove in 1896?

There is no actual picture of the first electric stove in 1896. Sadly, there were no photographs of this experimental stove taken at the time. There are, however, diagrams of the stove, which can be accessed within history books.

Why does my electric range pass electricity into my hand through the pan I just moved into a new place and the stove sent electric shocks up my arms everytime I grabbed the pan had to turn it off?

It sounds like your stove is missing a ground wire. Sounds like one of your elements has shorted to ground. Shut the stove off at the breaker and get a qualified electrician to look at the problem. For you to get a shock you must have had your other hand on the stove or you are standing on a grounded medium. (eg concrete floor.) DO NOT USE THE STOVE. The amount of current you could receive could kill you.
