A bronze from the James Joyce death mask at the Martello Tower. Dublin 1963. Published in Quinn, Edward. James Joyces Dublin. Secker & Warburg, London 1974.

A bronze cast from the death mask of James Joyce is set into the rough-hewn stone wall of the Martello Tower in Dublin. Photographed in 1963, this close-up view highlights the stark contrast between the smooth, polished metal and the coarse, weathered stone. The lighting accentuates the contours of Joyce's face—with its slicked-back hair, mustache, and closed eyes—making the sculpture appear to emerge directly from the stonework.
