Hamilton’s career is marked by his fascination with James Joyce’s novel Ulysses (1922). To illustrate an episode in the book that takes place in the editorial offices of the Freeman’s Journal, Hamilton worked with the Parisian master printer Aldo Crommelynck to combine the twenty individual plates from his earlier Joyce-inspired portfolio, IRELAND A NATION (1988), into the format of a single newspaper
broadsheet. The result is a catalogue of the many intaglio techniques Hamilton used to translate Joyce’s stylistic jumps and linguistic references into pictorial equivalents.
