| The Cuala Press did not publish only books. In addition to greeting cards, calendars, and other occasionally printed items, the Cuala Press, as well as the previous Dun Emer Press, published several series of broadsides that were actually collections of ballads and poems, many by contemporary authors. A Broadsidewas published monthly in folio format. Each page, printed on Irish cartridge paper from Saggart Mill in Country Dublin, measured 11 x 7 1/2 inches in the first series and 11 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches for the second and third series. Again Elizabeth Yeats chose to use fourteen point Caslon Old Face type for the print, exluding the heading. The first series ran from 1908 until 1915 for a total of eight-four issues, and all the drawings were by Jack Yeats. The second series ran in1935, and the third in 1937. This first page from the first of the1937 series shows a drawing by Jack Yeats and the opening stanza to "Come Gather Round Me Parnellites" by William B. Yeats. |
