A scan of four playing cards from a Ulysses Themed deck. The cards are black ink illustrations on top of a rainbow that stretches from the bottom left of each card to the top right. On the top left card is the 10 of spades with a bare-chested woman with waves wrapping around her with the caption "yes". On the top right is the Jack of diamonds, with a child-like Satan sitting on a egg-like orb. On the bottom left is the 4 of diamonds, featuring a crucified Jesus wearing a bowler hat and with a long thin fish covering his abdomen at an angle; the caption reads" INRI-IHS I have suffered iron nails ran in". The final card on the bottom right is the queen of spades, representing Anne Hathaway with her head peeking out from the Globe theater stage. End image description.
