Pioneering and highly influential founder of psychoanalysis (1856–1939) whose theories revolutionized the understanding the human psyche. Exceptional oversized vintage matte-finish 8.75 x 11.5 portrait, signed and inscribed in fountain pen in German (translated): “Miss Thelma Steiner, As a pleasant memento of an old friend of your father, Sigmund Freud, May 1925.”Archivally double matted and framed to an overall size of 16.25 x 19. In fine condition, with some scattered light silvering and spotting to background, and a couple of light surface marks and creases.

This photo was signed by Freud during his period of greatest acclaim. He had recently published his masterwork, The Ego and the Id, and was touring Europe lecturing extensively in support of the paper that laid the foundation for psychoanalysis as it exists today. His fame was so great in 1925 that a German film company produced the first movie about Freudian theory, despite Freud's refusal to collaborate on the project. It was also during this period that he was diagnosed with the cancer that would eventually lead him to commit suicide. A rare and utterly incredible photograph!
