Plates 14, 15 Austrian Empire, Switzerland
£3.00
No significant marks on either of these plates although the Austrian Empire includes Lepold Bloom’s home town of Szombathely, a name that pleased Joyce so much he mentions it six times in Ulysses. The place appears on Plate 14 in eastern Hungary, but under its German name of Stein-am-Anger, ‘Stones on the Green’, commemorating the Roman ruins there.
