Biographical Note
Eileen Greig, English artist, exhibited miniatures and watercolors at the Royal Academy between 1911-1916. In 1916 she showed a piece at the 1916 English Arts and Crafts Society exhibition, where Cuala Press was also participating. That year Elizabeth c. Yeats invited Greig to design a print for the Cuala Press that was one of the earliest art commissions from an artist by the press outside the family. Greig also designed book plates for the Press.
