Description

Ultra-early signature of Freud as a 19-year-old medical student

Remarkably early bold ink ownership signature, "Sig. Freud, stud. med., 1875,” on an off-white 3.75 x 5.75 page removed from one of his books. In fine condition. Freud entered the University of Vienna at age 17, where he initially planned to study law; however, he joined the medical faculty at the university, where he studied philosophy under Franz Brentano, physiology under Ernst Brücke, and zoology under Darwinist professor Carl Claus. He graduated with an MD in 1881, and subsequently began his medical career at the Vienna General Hospital. An absolutely remarkable, supremely early signature of the revered pioneer of psychoanalysis.
