SIGMUND
FREUD. Autograph
Letter Signed, London, 22 March 1939. In German, with translation. 1
page, on his 3½" x 5¼" correspondence card.
The founder
of psychoanalysis and one of the most influential figures of the past
century, Sigmund Freud was forced to leave his home in Vienna following
the Nazi takeover of Austria. He moved to London in June 1938, and he
died there, of cancer, in September 1939, just six months after writing
this letter.
Addressing
an unidentified doctor, Freud arranges a meeting. “Since you
still wish to visit me,” he remarks, “I can suggest
Sunday around 2 p.m. as a time that would suit me.” He has
signed, “Prof. Freud.”
The note
is written on a correspondence card that is imprinted with his name,
“Prof. Sigm. Freud,” at the upper left and with
his London address and phone number at the upper right.
The letter
is in very good condition.
Correspondence
from Freud’s final period in London is uncommon. $3500.00
