It commemorates the date in 1904 when Joyce went on his first outing with his future wife, Nora Barnacle—who is widely considered the inspiration for Molly Bloom. This significant date also serves as the setting for Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses. In Galway, Bloomsday is celebrated outside Barnacle's childhood home on Bowling Green—the smallest museum in Ireland. The museum preserves treasured photographs, personal memorabilia, and excerpts from the passionate correspondence shared between the couple. © Suzanne Ahearne Available in various sizes, the photo is printed on premium semi-glossy paper with a subtle shine and is protected against fading from light or moisture: Paper Finishing: Semi-glossy, enhances colors with a subtle shine.
