Sybil - The Art of Shirley Mason: The original of this print was signed twice by the artist – Once on the mat (Shirley A. Mason) and again on the artwork (Mason '45). This was the same year, 1945, that she met Dr. Cornelia Wilbur, who would become her life-long therapist. Miss Mason had a few appointments with Dr. Wilbur that year and planned a longer hospitalization. However, her mother interfered with the treatment by canceling a scheduled appointment. When Mis Mason tried to reschedule, Dr. Wilbur had left town permanently. Miss Mason's treatment was delayed another ten years, until 1955, when she moved to New York where Dr. Wilbur was living.
