Trilogy of Banners: 100 Years of Irish Women
2025
The Tree of Hope Banner is based on a Dún Emer Guild postcard design from c. 1905 depicting Yeats sisters, Elizabeth, and Lily by their sister-in-law Mary Cottenham Yeats.
Helen Flynn designed and created this contemporary interpretation. The banner shows Elizabeth carrying books and Lily holding an embroidered garment as they set out to build a female Arts and Crafts enterprise at the anticipated dawn of a new Independent Ireland.
