A short 1888 magazine article describing the set of Irish needle-point lace presented by the Irish Catholic bishops to Pope Leo XIII for his priestly Jubilee. It covers the design competition among Irish art schools, the winning Kenmare design, and the making of the altar-fall and rochet lace by workers at the Presentation Convent, Youghal. It also notes the lace schools at Kenmare and New Ross and urges English buyers to support Irish lace. Two photographic illustrations show a cuff and a border of the needle-point lace.
