When our friend Frederick Crews, an eminent professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley and a passionate critic of Sigmund Freud, learned that we were contemplating publishing an edition of Freud's best-known case history, he and his wife invited Hoyem and Ketcham to dinner at a restaurant in San Francisco for the purpose of telling them that they were crazy to do this. Twenty-two years later we learned that he plans to finish off Freud with a 900-page book scheduled in the near future. Fred is one of the sanest people we know. Jim Dine and the philosopher Richard Wollheim (1923-2003) were friends and both were interested in Freud, Wollheim having written an intellectual biography of him. They advanced the idea of the "Wolf-Man" to be illustrated by Dine and with an introduction by Wollheim. Many experiments were made with techniques for making prints in the book that involved photopolymer plates and lithography, but in the end conventional woodblocks and intaglio plates produced the best results. Please note that this listing is for the book with the additional large etching. ___POSTAGE: Please note that additional postage may apply for both domestic and international orders, due to the size of the print, which will be shipped loosely rolled (unless other arrangements are requested in advance); please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
