Dun Emer (later Cuala) Press Colophon to WB Yeats Book

This colophon, or description of the printing origins of a book, shows the commitment of the Dun Emer Press to Irish-made gods (including the paper), and the description of 1903 as "the year of the big wind" also shows the efforts to connect to nature and to ways of remembering time that have roots in the oral tradition.
