Dises Exempler tragt die Number 69. "A German edition of Ulysses was originally planned by Deutsche Verlag in 1924 but failed to appear. The project was then taken over by Joyce's German publisher Rhein-Verlag who held a competition to find a translator for Ulysses. The competition was won by Georg Goyert and in August 1926 he met with Joyce in Ostend to revise the text. The publication was successful and on 19 November Joyce sent a postcard to Claud W. Sykes stating that 'The edition was sold out in 3 weeks' J. Joyce op. cit. III p.167. The limited edition of 1000 copies for sale was issued in a half morocco binding as here and in green wrappers; as Slocum and Cahoon note 'The emphasis on the private nature of the publication and the strict limitation of copies was caused by some fear . that Ulysses might be subject to censorship'. This was the first time Ulysses was translated into another language. A French edition followed in 1929.The Quentin Keyes copy sold at Christies in 2004 for 4200 pounds. Slocum and Cahoon D-45.2.".

1955Best.-Nr. 414208Cambridge Massachusetts: The Poets' Theatre Workshop 1955. Hardcover. Good. Broadside illustrated in color on stiff cardstock. Measuring 10.25" x 13.75". Two incorrectly used printed apostrophes are whited-out by hand some horizontal creases and a small light stain near very good. Poster for Manning’s stage adaptation of Joyce’s novel that Manning arranged in 1955 as The Voice of Shem. Manning was a regular cast member at the Abbey Theatre a playwright and was a filmmaker. After a distinguished career in Ireland she moved to Boston where she served as managing director of the Idler Theatre at Radcliffe College in the 1940s and was one of the founding members of the Poet’s Theatre in Cambridge in 1950. The poster notes that tickets were on sale at the Mandrake Book Store on Boylston Street in Cambridge. Interesting period-style illustration of a beer quaffer blathering over the cantilevered corpse of Finnegan. The original performances were in April of 1955; this return engagement ran for little more than a week in late November and early December 1955. OCLC locates no copies of the poster although copies of Manning's adaptation in book form published by the Harvard University Press are plentiful. We found a black and white rendition of the poster image online on a French blog but could find no illuminating information there. Presumably these posters would have been extremely ephemeral.
