James Joyce and Sylvia Beach in doorway of Shakespeare and Company

Joyce, James, 1882-1941

Beach, Sylvia

Shakespeare and Company (Paris, France)

Inserted note in SB's handwriting "Sylvia Beach James Joyce | à Shakespeare and Company | 8 rue Dupuytren | en 1921 | (publication de 'Ulysses" en train)"

Sylvia Beach and James Joyce stand in the open doorway of Shakespeare and Company, facing each other. On right, James Joyce leans casually against the door frame holding a cane, dressed in a dark suit, bow tie, and fedora. Sylvia Beach stands in profile on the left, wearing a long dark dress and heeled shoes. The street outside is paved with bricks, and a few blurred figures are visible in the background near an arched entrance. The composition creates a frame within a frame, emphasizing the figures in the doorway. Inserted note in Sylvia Beach's handwriting "Sylvia Beach James Joyce | à Shakespeare and Company | 8 rue Dupuytren | en 1921 | (publication de 'Ulysses" en train)"
