http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt609nb32g

Friedrich S. Krauss (1859-1938) was an Austrian ethnographer and folklorist. He specialized in Slavic ethnography and folklore. During the course of his fieldwork, he amassed one of the largest collections of Guslar epic songs. He later turned his attention to erotic folklore, which helped lay the groundwork for the emerging Viennese psychoanalytic school. The collection consists of research materials, manuscripts, illustrations, and published materials on south Slavic folklore compiled by Krauss. The collection also includes hundreds of drawings by Max Lehmann.
