A century ago, wearing glasses full time was against the rules of fashion. The pince-nez shown here by Carla was probably only used for reading. The vast majority of pince-nez offered in antique and bric à brac shops are readers. My collection hosts well over a dozen pince-nez and only three of them have lenses for short sight. The pince-nez shown here will appear again in the second part of this documentary.
