An 1888 magazine article by H. E. Keane surveying the revival and state of lace-making in Ireland. It argues for hand-made lace over machine work and describes the role of South Kensington, the Schools of Art and convent schools in improving design. It then reviews individual centres: Kenmare, Youghal, Cappoquin, Newtownbarry, Limerick and Carrickmacross, along with a few pillow lace efforts. Illustrations show Venetian point, Limerick lace, a point lace lappet and Greek lace (Reticella).
