Sylvia, a relief lino cut print by Nickie Hayden
"This iconic image of James Joyce and Sylvia Beach publisher of Ulysses, is often edited for artistic and commercial purposes, excluding her from the image. Considering the enormous influence that women had on Joyce's life, this is quite a glaring omission. The soundtrack in the clip is 'Love's old sweet song' sung by Molly in Ulysses."

Nickie Hayden, June 2020
"Sylvia Beach, the publisher of Ulysses, had a difficult relationship with Joyce, but a trip to Dublin in 1962 was a catharsis for the American (who also coined the term Bloomsday)"
