Booth, Eileen Constance (Peet)
Biographical Note
Eileen Constance Peet was born in 1906 to Constance Rayne and Edward Peet in Dalkey, near Dublin, Ireland. She studied at Bolt Court, an art school in London specialising in teaching printing techniques, and the Slade School of Art. She returned to Ireland, and in about 1934 she married Cyril Booth and began illustrating for Cuala Press. She produced illustrations for the ‘Broadsides’, or printed sheet music of popular nationalistic ballads, which were sold as sets to middle class Irish and British patrons. Her woodblock style was very close to that of Jack B. Yeats. Eileen C. Booth died in 2000.
