EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic moment when Irish poet and senator, William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), attended the inaugural meeting of Dail Eireann in Dublin on January 21, 1923. Dail Eireann was the parliament of the Irish Free State, established following the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921. Yeats, a towering figure in Irish literature and a key figure in the Irish nationalist movement, is seen here dressed in formal attire, including a bow tie, overcoat, and hat. He wears pince-nez spectacles, adding an intellectual air to his appearance. Yeats, who had been appointed as a senator for the University of Dublin, was a passionate advocate for Irish independence and played a significant role in shaping the cultural and political landscape of the new Irish state. His presence at the first meeting of Dail Eireann symbolized the intersection of literature and politics in Irish history. The photograph, taken in 1923, offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the solemnity and importance of the occasion. The image is a testament to Yeats's enduring legacy as a poet, senator, and cultural icon in Irish history. This graphic, from Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a valuable visual record of an important moment in Irish political history and showcases the unique blend of literature and politics that characterized the early years of the Irish Free State.
