46 JOYCE, James. Ulysses. Paris: Shakespeare and Company, 1922 “Stately, plump . . .” First edition, first printing, number 174 of 150 large paper copies numbered 101–250 and printed on vergé d’Arches, a scarce survival in the original wrappers. With its generous margins, the large paper format is the most aesthetically pleasing of the three formats. Quarto. Original blue wrappers, titles to cover in white. Housed in a custom blue quarter morocco and cloth solander box.Spine sensitively rebacked and one small tear to rear wrapper repaired, some nicks and
small tears to wrapper edges, a few minor marks, fresh within, faint partial toning to limitation page likely offset from some now-absent cutting, an eminently presentable copy in very good condition. ¶ Slocum & Cahoon A17; Horowitz, Census , p. 121. £57,500 [153723]
