Description: Six auto-lithographs by Charles Mozley, printed in sepia (two with a second printing in pale mauve), trimmed to bleed and tipped onto japon vellum paper. Each drawing accompanied by a brief quotation from James Joyce's Ulysses. Sewn into pink paper covers with the title in black (upper cover slightly soiled). One of 165 copies (this marked 'out-of-series'). A very good copy. A private issue to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first publication of Ulysses by The Bodley Head. Lambert and Radcliffe list this as the first Bodley Head booklet, although it does not conform to the series in size or appearance.

Description: INSCRIBED BY THE ARTIST WITH TWO ADDITIONAL PLATES, NO. 39 OF 165 COPIES, 8vo, pp. [18] + 8 tipped-in plates (2 of which ?extra?). Original white card wrappers within pale pink wrappers printed in black with integral flaps. Top edge of leaves a little rippled, perhaps from plate adhesive. Some spotting to paper wrappers, pink somewhat faded. Inscribed to the title-page: ?To Tom Hart, Charles Mozley?, placement of extra plates noted with an asterisk in the same pen. This booklet was issued with 6 plates by Charles Mozley, each facing a letterpress page with relevant quotations from Joyce?s novel. This copy has an inscription from Mozley and two more plates, both in the same style and clearly from the same series of lithographs, produced for a proposed illustrated ?Ulysses? that never came to fruition. The first of these extra plates is overprinted with that book?s title and author?s name, as if for a dust-jacket design, and both are printed on different paper to the standard plates. Further illustrations of Leopold Bloom by Charles Mozley appeared in ?Six on the Black Art? edited by John Ryder but these were line drawings of a different style. Ryder wrote a piece for Matrix 8 in 1988 on Mozley?s Ulysses illustrations which makes extensive reference to both his own edited work and this pamphlet but in a way that makes clear he was unaware of the existence of these two extra pieces, which therefore seem to have escaped the historical record entirely.
