In 1902, the Yeats sisters joined forces with Evelyn Gleeson to establish Dun Emer Press and Guild, setting out to shape a distinctly new visual language for Ireland.
Their work helped redefine how the nation’s saints were seen, transforming them into powerful national icons through a fresh artistic approach.
By combining craftsmanship with cultural purpose, the Yeats sisters contributed to a broader effort to give Irish identity a modern visual form.
The result was an influential artistic statement that tied the country’s spiritual heritage to its emerging sense of nationhood.
