COLLECTION OF RARE PSYCHOPATHOLOGY AND PICTORIAL EXPRESSION FOLIOS (13). A substantial partial run (13 folios) of Psychopathology and Pictorial Expression: An International Iconographical Collection (Sandoz, 1964?1974), including Series 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (three copies), 12, 15, and 21. Each comprising original card?folder wrappers containing scholarly commentary (4–8 pages) and multiple loose full?colour or b/w plates reproducing works by psychiatric patients, documenting mid?20th?century clinical/psychopathological art.

Highly unusual mid?century documentation bridging psychiatry, outsider art and medical history. These rare works are important for collectors of psychiatric ephemera, outsider art, and social?medical history.

Some light spotting to some folders; some folders with chips to corners. Otherwise, the internal documents and plates are in excellent condition.
