It gives insights into the remarkable job-creation programmes set up by the nuns, wives of clergymen and other benevolent people at the time of the famine and later also by government bodies. Fully illustrated and referenced, 64 pages. Mademoiselle Reigo and Irish Crochet Lace. At the time of the Great Irish Famine (1846-52) when Irish crochet lace became an important source of income in Ireland, many crochet lace pattern books were coming into the English market.
