A 1921 note signed by legendary psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud (Austrian, 1856-1939). The note, an analysis of a patient, was made on the letterhead of fellow psychologist Dr. Paul Federn, a representative of Freud and the Vice-President of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society.? Nicely framed behind glass with a photograph of Freud and a translation from German to English, as follows: "Miss Kirschbaum, At the present time: Depressions - fits of fear, even with the approach of marriage, not removed. 10/21/21 /Signature/ Freud". Sight of the note measures 3 x 5.5 inches, frame measures 21.5 x 15.5 inches. Provenance: Purchased by the present owner in 1984 from the collection of Walter and Barbara Burks, Kansas-based dealers of historical documents. Note: This lot has a confidential reserve price, in an amount not to exceed the low estimate. In the event that the reserve is not met, the lot will pass.
Not observed out of frame, appears to be in original condition. The paper has been unfolded from its original state for its framing.
