Description

Scarce personal calling card of the pioneering psychoanalyst, 4 x 2.25, imprinted in the center with his name followed by his many titles and honors: "Sigmund Freud, M.D., LL.D., Hon. F.R.S.M., For. Mem. R.S." Below is his first address in London, "39 Elsworthy Road, N.W. 3," where he lived for just three months after fleeing Vienna in 1938. He then moved to a new family home at 20 Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead, where the Freud Museum is situated today. An example of his "20 Maresfield Gardens" stationery is also included. In very fine condition.
