Photo Number 654

This is a photo from around 1910 to 1920. 

Eyeglasses Pinch your nose

I think this may have been an engagement or wedding photo.  The young lady has a pair of those spectacles that pinches your nose.  They were called Pince-nez.  This pair seems to have a cord or a string off to the ladies right. Sometimes the string would be retracted into a button sized case pinned to the dress. This pair of glasses seems almost rimless.

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
