From A Renascence of the Irish Art of Lace-making by A.S.C.

A lace making centre—especially for all sorts of Limerick laces made with fine white threads either of flax or silk—has been quite recently organised by the Convent of Mercy, at Kinsale. Children are taught to do this work in the school attached to the convent; and wives of the fishermen of the town also make similar laces, under the supervision of the nuns of the convent. The design for the flounce and border was made by Miss Emily Anderson, of the Crawford Municipal School of Art, Cork, and was selected by Her Majesty The Queen in 1886.
