Leopold’s Day is a collection of beautifully designed pieces inspired by Leopold Bloom’s journey through Dublin on 16th June 1904. This carefully designed range is centred around a beautifully crafted map formed purely from the people, premises and places cited in Ulysses.

This is the first time a map of Dublin city has been created which captures the landmarks and actual people who featured in the famous text. Every detail has been carefully selected to capture the essence of the day when Bloom ventured through the city; the main typeface of the map is a digitised version of the typeface used in Ulysses’ first edition. The map’s directory features over four hundred landmarks and businesses, which formed the backdrop to Ulysses and were in existence in Dublin on that monumental day when Leopold Bloom journeyed through the city.

The Leopold’s Day Miniatures are a city centre crop of the beautiful typographic cartography, captured in the Leopold’s Day Map of Dublin. The Miniature is an exquisitely detailed piece with an in-depth close up of the streets in existence on June 16th 1904, and alluded to by James Joyce in Ulysses.

One of the impressive aspects of the Miniature is its finishing, white foil onto a beautiful, premium, Colorplan board. The first batch of Turquoise board has now sold out. This Miniature is produced on Tabriz Blue. There is a lovely relief to the foiled areas from where they were struck by the block, and these areas catch the light to produce an exquisite contrast with the matt board.

This is a memorable, elegant, crisp, contemporary composition with historical typographic references. It comes in a matt black bubble wrap envelope, so perfect if you want to send it directly as a gift.
