A 1887 Art Journal article surveying the history of the Irish lace industry, which it presents as a product of famine relief rather than commercial demand. It covers the Carrickmacross appliqué school, Limerick run and tambour lace, Innishmacsaint and Clones laces, and the Munster convent schools' Irish point. It also describes South Kensington's efforts to improve design, and ends by comparing Ireland with the commercially successful Burano lace school.
