Essex Quay. A man lights a cigarette. Opposite the hotel Ormond, Upper Ormond Quay. Featured "the Sirens" chapter in James Joyce’s Ulysees. Dublin 1963.
On Essex Quay, a man in an overcoat and hat pauses to light a cigarette, leaning over the aged stone wall in Dublin, 1963. Across the river, the scene on Upper Ormond Quay is dominated by the white Ormond Hotel, a key setting in the "Sirens" chapter of James Joyce’s *Ulysses*. Georgian buildings, vintage cars, and a double-decker bus line the street, their rooftops a forest of television aerials. A flag bearing a three-towered castle emblem flies from a nearby pole.
