“The Rabbit Dreams of Dr. Freud’s Niece

Under the pseudonym Tom Seidmann-Freud—often shortened to just “Tom"—Sigmund Freud’s eccentric niece Martha illustrated a series of wonderful children’s books in the early twentieth century. She killed herself in 1930 (age 37 or 38), a year after her husband killed himself. This grim ending is not reflected in her dream-like, often whimsical work.

I feature here most of her illustrations for Buch Der Hasengeschichten (The Book of Rabbit Stories, 1924)—one of my favorite children’s books though I’ll likely never own a copy—and a handful from Die Fischreise (The Fish’s Journey, 1923) and The Book of Things (poems byHayim Nahman Bialik).

Read more about Tom Seidmann-Freud and her books at this website devoted to her.”

Wonderful.
