“In 1935, American publisher George Macey offered the great Henri Matisse $5,000 to create as many etchings as this budget would afford for a special illustrated edition of Ulysses. … [It’s] a glorious leather-bound tome with 22-karat gold accents, gilt edges, moire fabric endsheets … The Matisse drawings inside it, of course, are the most priceless of its offerings – the best thing since Salvador Dalí’s little-known Alice in Wonderland illustrations.”
