Ulysses- PROTEUS Half-Leather

The PROTEUS Half-Leather edition is a 4-Volume set bound in teal Moroccan goatskin and handmade paste paper boards inspired by Stephen’s musings in Episode 3 – PROTEUS as he gazes over the waves of Sandymount Strand Beach. The text is printed on birch heavy archival stock. The top edge of the book is gilt and each copy has hand-sewn headbands. The endpaper features our letterpress Joyce Centennial pattern. During Joyce’s life, 4 iconic photographic portraits were taken of him by legendary photographers of the time: Josef Breitenbach, Man Ray, Camille Ruf, and Berenice Abbott. We will be reproducing them in the Half-Leather PROTEUS Edition— one in each of the four volumes. Edition is limited to 65 sets.

The PROTEUS Edition is presented in an elegant fitted box with a gold tooled leather spine label. Each set is signed and numbered by the publisher in the final volume.
