Yeats Exhibit in Gallery Through Tomorrow:
· (Editor's Note: "The Cuala Press and the Yeats Family, l903—l944"
is the title of the current Gallery exhibit prepared by Elizabeth ‘
Howard of the Biological Sciences Library. The exhibit consists
of a variety of materials from Elizabeth's personal collection
that includes broadsides and pamphlets, correspondance, exhibi-
tion catalogs and other memorabilia relating to the famous
Dublin family of poets, painters and printers.) .
The family of John Butler Yeats and Susan Pollexfen Yeats were
leaders in the organization of the Irish Literary Society in the
late l890's. Mr. Yeats was a fine portrait painter and the two
sons--William Butler and Jack——have received much attention in
literary and artistic circles. But little attention is paid the
two sisters, Lily and Elizabeth, and their active role in the
Society and their contributions to Irish literature.
Both women worked at William Morris' Kelmscott Industries near
London. Elizabeth studied the art of hand printing under the
guidance of Sir Emery Walker, Morris' typographer, and Lily
studied the art of embroidery under May Morris, Morris' eldest
daughter. In 1903 they returned to Ireland and helped organize
Dun Emer Industries; in 1908 they moved to Dublin where they or-
ganized the Cuala Industries. Their goals were to provide Irish
women with the ability to make beautiful objects from Irish
materials and at the same time teach them a way to support
themselves.
