Sweny’s Pharmacy, the chemist made famous in Joyce’s Ulysses where Leopold Bloom bought a bar of the now famous lemon soap for his wife Molly. Dublin 1963.
A dark sedan moves along a Dublin street in 1963, passing Sweny’s Pharmacy, the chemist immortalized in James Joyce’s *Ulysses*. It was here that protagonist Leopold Bloom purchased a bar of lemon soap for his wife, Molly. On this bright day, the shop’s prominent "CHEMIST" sign is visible above arched display windows for "Prescriptions" and "Cosmetics." The name "A. FLYNN M.P.S.I." is displayed above the entrance as a man walks briskly along the sunlit sidewalk.
