When I was asked to bind a signed copy of Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Jonathan Cape Ltd., 1929), I debated whether to use a classic Dublin silhouette as a design element or to make the design as quirky and high strung as the text. So I did both: the box is linen with an onlaid cityscape of Dublin worked in leather; the binding is a frame of Celtic knot work within which two animated devils from an early Irish manuscript lure us toward hell fires.
