Photo of Freud in his study in Vienna, 1937

The story goes that Freud's colleagues tried convincing him to leave Vienna due the escalating war in Europe.

A photographer offered to photograph Freud's office in Vienna and to set up his new office in London exactly as it was in Vienna. Freud agreed to flee Austria once he received assurances that every book, every figurine, every piece of furniture would be set up in exactly the same fashion.
