This is the frontispiece depicting an islander from John Millington Synge's, Tbe Aran Islands (Dublin: Mausel, 1906) in the Rare Book Collection at the Department of Special Collections of University of Notre Dame. The Aran Islands are a group of three islands in Galway Bay on the west coast of Ireland. With the encouragement of William Butler Yeats, the author visited the islands and wrote about the primitive life and language of the inhabitants. The illustrations in this limited edition printing were hand-colored by William Yeats' brother, the noted painter Jack Butler Yates.
