A 1891 Magazine of Art article by Alan S. Cole on new Irish lace designed and made in the preceding few years, mostly in convents and schools. It covers Limerick net embroidery, crochet, Carrickmacross cut-linen and appliqu\u00e9, and flat and raised needle-point lace from Youghal, Kenmare, Innishmacsaint and New Ross. It stresses the value of new designs from art schools and compares hand-made lace with machine-made lace. Each specimen is illustrated and credited to its designer and workers.
