Biographical notes:

Founded by Elizabeth and Lily Yeats, the Cuala Press was established in 1902. It operated under the name Dun Emer Press until 1908 when the name changed to Cuala Press. Besides providing works for publication, William Butler Yeats also served as both an editor and adviser for the press. After the death of Elizabeth Yeats in 1940, the work was continued under the management of Bertha Georgie Yeats (the wife of W. B. Yeats). The Cuala Press published its last book in 1946 and would issue only note cards, prints and ephemera until its revival by another generation of the Yeats family in 1969.
