About this source
What it is
This is a modern scan or copy of a portrait image of Sigmund Freud, made in 2016. The original photograph it reproduces shows Freud as an older bearded man in a suit, holding a cigar.
Why it matters
Images like this shape how later generations picture Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. Because this particular copy is modern and its original source is unclear, it should be treated carefully as a historical document.
Look closer
- What details in the picture (clothing, pose, props) suggest the kind of public image Freud presented?
- Why might the exact age or original source of a photograph matter to historians?
- What does the image not tell us about Freud's private life or ideas?
