Patrick Kavanagh and Anthony Cronin seated on horse and carriage outside Davy Byrnes pub, Bloomsday, Duke Street, Dublin, June 16, 1954.

One of the two fourwheelers that the 1954 contingent of Bloomsday pilgrims used in their unsuccessful attempt to follow Leopold Bloom's path through Dublin. The right front tire clearly shows how it is constructed of individual pieces of solid rubber.

In Ulysses Leopold stopped at Davey Byrne's pub for a glass of burgundy and a gorgonzola cheese sandwich. By now generations of Bloomsday tourists have experienced their first dismaying encounter with gorgonzola at Davey Byrne's.
