This is implicit in Ch. 2 of

@book{0004.36904,
author="Reidemeister, Kurt",
title="{Einf\"uhrung in die kombinatorische Topologie.}",
language="German",
publisher="{Braunschweig: Friedr. Vieweg \& Sohn A.-G. XII, 209 S. }",
year="1932",
keywords="{topology}",
}
Every group is a homomorphic image of a free group.

Presumably it also implicit in

@Article{zbMATH02581122,
  Author = {O. {Schreier}},
  Title = {{Die Untergruppen der freien Gruppen.}},
  FJournal = {{Abhandlungen aus dem Mathematischen Seminar der Universit\"at Hamburg}},
  Journal = {{Abh. Math. Semin. Univ. Hamb.}},
  ISSN = {0025-5858; 1865-8784/e},
  Volume = {5},
  Pages = {161--183},
  Year = {1927},
  Publisher = {Springer, Berlin/Heidelberg},
  Language = {German},

}

Dear all,

If I am not mistaken the characterization of free groups by its universal property has first been shown in the late 1920s. Does anybody know a reference?
