Ireland's only copy of the first published edition of Shakespeare’s plays is going on display at Trinity College Dublin. The First Folio is one of the most sought-after books in the world, and Trinity's copy has some mysterious markings which may yet tell a tale of their own...

#OTD in 1940 Elizabeth Corbet Yeats died and we wanted to share her photograph album containing photographs of Dun Emer and Cuala Industries, and their members of staff and premises. Many of the photographs were presumably taken by Elizabeth herself.
