A 1888 Magazine of Art article by Alan S. Cole on the state and prospects of Irish lace-making, prompted by the needle-point laces given to the Pope for his Jubilee. It describes lace-making as a cottage industry supported by convents, and the effort since the 1883 Cork Exhibition to improve pattern design through drawing classes, Department of Science and Art grants and a private committee offering design prizes. Two illustrations show needle-point lace: a cuff for an alb or rochet and an altar-cloth trimming.
