    Est: €2,000 - €3,000

    Isa M. “Mac” Macnie (1869-1958) CHIN ANGLES, OR HOW THE POETS PASSED watercolour and ink signed lower right; mounted with title and description lower centre h:8  w:11 in. Provenance: Collection of Lady Augusta Gregory, Coole Park; Private collection Literature: Published initially in the New York Times, then the Irish Independent (26 Sep 1924) and then in the American Forum; Oliver St. John Gogarty’s memoir, As I walked Down Sackville Street (1937) Isabella Mary Macnie was born in Clontarf, Dublin on 9 August 1869. Her father was a Scottish master printer and Justice of the peace. Macnie was a skilled sports woman and in 1907 became the Irish Ladies' Croquet Champion. She was also renowned as an actress, sketch writer, composer and pianist. Macnie took up cartooning in her fifties. She used the pen-name Mac in the publication of her cartoons which tended to cover political figures of the day. She published her book of caricatures, The Celebrity Zoo, in 1925 with accompanying satirical verses. Macnie was an active suffragist and philanthropist. She was a member of the Dublin University Dramatic Society, the Dublin United Arts Club and the Irish Women’s Reform League. She did charity work to support the victims of the Titanic disaster and, during the First World War, nursing and the Red Cross. Chin Angles was her best known cartoon and an example hangs in the Hugh Lane Gallery. Other of her works are in the National Library of Ireland collections. The cartoon depicts W.B. Yeats and AE Russell walking past 83 Merrion Square to visit one another without seeing each other. It has been reproduced extensively; was referred to in Sean Piondar’s March 1945 Questionnaires to Celebrities No. 24 “Mac”, published in some magazines, such as the Dublin Magazine, pp. 3-4 as well as Frank Bouchier Hayes’ article on ‘The rich and varied life of a forgotten Dublin Cartoonist’ on 5 March, 2010 in Pue’s Occurrences.
