This is a fragment from "Finnegans Wake" beautifully printed in Holland on thick paper using an unusually large round and vaguely Medieval typeface. Our copy could hardly be in better condition--as close to mint as one could hope to find and with all original components. Joyce's daughter Lucia 1907-82 was diagnosed with schizophrenia when in her early twenties and was permanently institutionalized by 1935. She had desperately tried and failed to become a dancer and Joyce was determined to find a new artistic outlet for her believing it would be therapeutic. He hit upon the design of ornamental capitals like this one and even went so far as to give publishers the money to pay her for her work. Gotham Book Mart unknown books
