An 1888 pattern book promoting new designs for Irish lace, with introductory notes by A. S. C. (Alan S. Cole) and twelve photographic plates of lace made from specially commissioned patterns. Each plate has a caption naming the designer, the convent or school that made the lace, and the lace type: raised needlepoint, crochet, Carrickmacross appliqué, Limerick tambour and run lace, and cut linen. It also gives the history of the 1884 Committee for new Irish lace patterns, its proposal for maintaining the industry, and a list of subscribers.
