Elizabeth Yeats was trained as a printer at the Women\u2019s Printing Society in London before returning to Ireland in the early 1900s. Upon her return Yeats partnered with her sister Lily and friend Evelyn Gleeson to found a women\u2019s art collective. They named the group Dun Emer Industries in reference to Emer a woman noted in Irish folklore for her beauty and strength. Operating in the midst of the Arts and Crafts movement, Dun Emer Industries promoted women\u2019s participation in the print and textile trades until 1908 at which time Gleeson and the Yeats sisters parted ways. At this time, Elizabeth renamed the business the Cuala Press and dedicated it mainly to print.<\/p>\n
Yeats published a variety of poetic works including many by her brother William Butler. One of these books Poems Written in Discouragement<\/em> is included in this exhibition. The press often worked in small print runs. A clipping pasted into the front of this copy of \u00a0Poems Written in Discouragement<\/em> notes that only 25-30 copies of the first edition were printed. The press also churned out a series of broadsides with hand painted illustrations, many of which are found in this exhibition. The broadsides were published from 1908 until 1915. Printing continued at the press until its closure in 1946.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”437,436,438,441,439,440,442,443,444″ posts_number=”9″ show_pagination=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” orientation=”portrait” caption_text_color=”#4c4c4c” caption_font=”Amaranth||||||||” sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_padding=”63px|||||”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Elizabeth Yeats was trained as a printer at the Women\u2019s Printing Society in London before returning to Ireland in the early 1900s.
