| Provenance Marks | James Joyce had his initials, "J.J." stamped inside the front or back covers for the majority of his collection. The bookplate titled "Ex libris Joyce Post Mortem" was added to several volumes from Joyce's Paris library preceeding the Librairie-Galerie La Hune exhibition in 1949. |
