The dispute lasted from 26 August 1913 to 18 January 1914, and is often viewed as the most severe and significant industrial dispute in Irish history. Central to the dispute was the workers' right to unionise. Irish workers lived in terrible conditions in tenements. For example, an astonishing 835 people lived in 15 houses in Henrietta Street's Georgian tenements. At number 10, Henrietta Street, the Irish Sisters of Charity ran a laundry inhabited by more than 50 single women. An estimated four… Read More

Recent years have confirmed the special position of Jack B. Yeats in twentieth century Irish painting. For the visitor to this exhibition the clear development of the artist's style from graphic work to watercolours to oil paintings is an intriguing visual experience. The late pictures are splendid in their use of colour, impasto and subject matter.

The Exhibition is of particular importance to the National Gallery in that it offers visitors the opportunity to study… Read More

1944. No.8 / 200 copies, of the original limited edition. Dublin, The Cuala Press, 1944 [September 1944]. Octavo. 58 pages. Original Hardcover. Inscribed by George Yeats on the front free endpaper: "Mrs. Hempel from George Yeats, April 1944". This has to be of course "April 1945". The impossibility of signing/inscribing a book in April 1944 if it was only published in September 1944 is easily explained with the classic everyday-mistake of still writing the previous year in the first few months of the following year. A stunning association. The signature and inscription is a solid match to George Yeats' autographs in her later hand and William Butler Yeats and George Yeats were frequent visitors to the Hempel's in Dublin. In addition, the low number of the edition (8/200) suggests this being one of the reference copies given to George Yeats, who contributed heavily to the volume and even added an explanatory note (in print) verso the titlepage. This copy is near fine, bound in the publisher's quarter… Read More
