Joyce’s Ulysses) is a collection of pornographic images

based on vintage postcards. “Bloom takes a pack of

postcards from the bureau. He studies his collection

of pornographic postcards. He probably remembers

when he was a boy. In the evening, on the seashore,

he watched a girl in white stockings sitting across from

him. She slowly parted her legs and he saw her white

knickers and straps.” The album consists of 3 sheets

printed with title, text and table of contents followed

by 15 sheets of coloured lithographs within cardboard

covers and a slipcase. Karasik published it in 12 copy

edition in two versions: 1) 5 copies with sheets loose

between the covers; 2) 7 bound copies.
