List2943Likely Chicago area 1944. Single 5 x 8 inch journal with forty-two double-sided pages filled out and many more blank. Near fine. Offered here is an unusual document: a dream journal from the 1940s. Written by an anonymous woman the journal documents dreams from January and February of 1943 and 1944. Dream interpretation is an ancient practice with many varied purposes1 but given the rising popularity of psychoanalysis at the time in the US2 it is plausible that this journal was kept for therapeutic purposes.<br /> <br /> Indeed there would be quite a bit for an analyst to say about A.B.’s dreams. She recalls moments from dreams such as when “It seems that also I have a sexual organ very faint from no cause at all†January 15 1943 “It seems I almost have to bite my mother to make her let me go†January 16 and:<br /> <br /> “I had a dream of going to Chicago with my brother. We went to a hotel as husband and wife. He slept in the same bed but nothing sexual passed between us.†February 16 1944<br /> <br /> One dream in particular deals in some detail which we omit with A.B.’s history of onanism or lack thereof. This dream includes the sensation that: “someone is trying to probe into the dark recesses of my ‘past’ to unearth the little secret hidden sins of childhood and the lapses of young girlhood and womanhood†February 9 a feeling that would likely be close to the truth if A.B. were in fact the subject of analysis.<br /> <br /> Other themes include work health and money and bizarre imagery such as “a left arm swaddled in a white surgical bandage from wrist to armpit†January 15. Overall an uncommon survival and a peculiar read of interest to dream interpreters and their historians.<br /> <br /> 1 J.

The individual problem with 350 illustrations and 51 supplements. Volume one only. This is a very rare title. We have been unable to identify another copy offered for sale. Eduard Fuchs 1870 - 1940 was a writer and art collector. He combined his research writing and art collecting to produce a six-volume work Sittengeschichte Moral History and three volume Die Frau in der Karikatur The Woman in the Cartoon. Fuchs was a prolific collector of the artist Honore-Victorin Daumier 1808 - 1879 a French caricaturist cartoonist lithographer painter and sculptor and produced three volumes of his works. In addition to the vast Daumier collection Fuchs also owned a significant number of works by Max Slevogt. Fuchs was financially successful through the publication of his works whose popularity was due in part because of their content of erotic art. Fuchs and his Jewish second wife Margarete fled from Germany to Paris in February 1933 after coming under attack from the Nazi party. They were able to take only a few art works with them. Later that year Fuchs' collection which had remained in Germany was seized by the Nazis. The Nazis banned and burned Fuchs' books. Part of the art collection was returned to Fuchs' who remained in exile in Paris but his daughter from his first marriage was forced to auction off the collection between 1937-1938. There have been multiple projects to identify and recover the Fuchs' Collection. Only a small number of pieces have been recovered.
