Item Description

Illustration by Emma S. Duffin.

  • Irish print, Cuala Press. This private press, set up in Dublin in 1908 by Elizabeth Yeats with support from her brother, the poet William Butler Yeats, played an important role in the Celtic Revival in the early 20th century.
  • The print is hand-coloured, an activity that provided a cottage industry for women.
  • It illustrates the rhyme: My aunt Jane she called me in. She gave me tea out of her wee tin. Half a bap, sugar on top, three black lumps out of her wee shop.
  • Dimensions: 8 inches x 11.5 inches. Framed, 13 inches x 17 inches.

Donated by Robin Salter.
