… Edmund Engelman was born in Vienna in 1907. In May 1938, after Freud was granted an exit visa to England, Engelman took documentary photographs of Freud’s apartment and practice at Berggasse 19, but also of Freud himself and of Freud’s wife and daughter – without a flash or spotlight so that his photography went unnoticed. In 1939, Engelman was forced to emigrate as well. He went to New York, where he died in 2000.
