Dr. and Mrs. Sulzberger's Copy of Freud's Da Vinci by Mark Podwal, M.D.

Freud's Da Vinci was published by Mark Podwal, M.D., in 1977. The back cover blurb reads, "At last! After 400 years...the 'repressed' drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci!" That's an ambitious subject for an illustrator to take on. A copy of the book, recently sold on eBay, comes with its own original drawing, apparently not "repressed."

"For Dr. and Mrs. Sulzberger,
With warmest regards,
Mark Podwal"

Another signed copy from Worthpoint comes from the same place in the artist's subconscious. The recipient, Richard Selzer (1928-2016), was a noted professor of surgery at Yale and an author.

"For Richard Selzer
Best wishes,
