You'll find some detailed historical info there as well. <br /><br />Pince-nez eyeglasses were by far the most popular type of eyewear from the late 1880's until 1920, especially the rimless type. <br /><br />Contrary to popular belief, a perfectly fitted pince-nez stayed securely and very comfortably attached to the bridge of the nose at all times. Pince-nez in that era were referred to most often as eyeglasses. Spectacles had arms or temples. Eyeglasses and Spectacles were unisex until the late 1930's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795151317189963876.post-5291043747829080942008-10-14T12:34:00.000-07:002008-10-14T12:34:00.000-07:00Just saw this article!

I'm now trying to think of ancestors and photos in which somebody is wearing glasses and I can only think of my Aunty Edna.

How I'd love to see some of those artist-painted frames you speak of. I wear glasses (since 8th grade) but not just for reading. Shopping for new frames is as excruciating a chore for me as shopping for jeans or a swimsuit. The problem is I just don't like myself in glasses!<BR/><BR/>The next time I have to shop for frames I'll come back and review your article and maybe just maybe I'll be more inspired.Jasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561520746304048996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795151317189963876.post-9870750903727281242008-08-30T00:12:00.000-07:002008-08-30T00:12:00.000-07:00Linda,Your photographs reminded me of a book from ...Linda,<BR/><BR/>Your photographs reminded me of a book from my childhood in which a young woman (of your early twentieth century time frame) wore eyeglasses. It took me some time to remember and track her down - Carney Sibley of the Betsy-Tacy series. As I recall, "Carney's House Party" had several illustrations of Carney wearing her spectacles. She was special because she wore glasses (as did I) and as I recall none of my other fictional friends did. Thanks for bringing her back.Kathryn Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508373744866161837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795151317189963876.post-41469614843710731942008-08-29T19:29:00.000-07:002008-08-29T19:29:00.000-07:00Terry and Donner:Thank you both for your very kind...Terry and Donner:<BR/><BR/>Thank you both for your very kind comments.<BR/><BR/>And let me just say that any friend of the footnoteMaven is a friend of mine.<BR/><BR/>LinderFootnoteMavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850563637079892957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795151317189963876.post-70906564429743089202008-08-29T16:37:00.000-07:002008-08-29T16:37:00.000-07:00Linda,How very nice to finally meet you.
