The book contains photographs of entries for the classes of Lace and Embroidery and Designs for Lace and Embroidery for the Arts-Industries Exhibition of August 1899.

In 1890 the RDS held an “Exhibition of Irish Lace, Embroidery and Designs for Lace and Embroidery” during the annual Dublin Horse Show. Over the next two years this exhibition expanded to include wood-carving and artistic metal and leather work. In 1893 the exhibition was renamed the Arts and Industries Exhibition These exhibitions are the precursor to the RDS National Arts Competition, which is still held annually in conjunction with the Dublin Horse Show.
