Happy St. Patrick's day from the Louise Brooks Society.... Just recently, a handful of Irish newspaper archives came online. I did a search and thought to share some of what I found to celebrate this most Irish of holidays. Shown below are a few representative vintage clippings and a couple of contemporary pieces.
