This book provides an overview for identifying and dating vintage
eyewear for the growing numbers of collectors. Explore ways in
which eyeglass design has developed to reflect both popular fashion
and scientific investigation.The designs of frames and lenses were
changed as more comfortable and practical styles were invented. In
the mid-twentieth century, eyeglass makers carefully sought high
profile entertainers to wear their designs in order to promote
their companies. Advertising worked its magic and the general
public came to prefer the advertised designs. Examples of eyewear
from the sevententh century to the present are shown in over 600
color photos and explained in an engaging text. Bifocals, monocles,
pince-nez, fanciful and safety styles of eyeglasses and sunglasses
are shown along with some price estimates.
