A short 1883 magazine article reviewing the Irish lace shown at the Mansion House Exhibition in London. It traces how Irish lace-making grew out of famine relief, describes the main centres (Carrickmacross, Limerick, Innishmacsaint, Youghal, Clones) and the kinds of lace made there, and notes the decline of net laces and the lack of participation by Irish trading firms.
