A comprehensive visual survey of currently available vintage eyewear from the 1920s to the 1990s for anyone who has ever considered owning vintage eyewear.

Vintage-eyeglass shop staff and owners were interviewed and their wares photographed, with the resulting 131 valuable frames presented full size. This means that many of these frames, with the exception of a few, can be seen in person and even purchased at stores. Some classic models still hold up, even when viewed today, while others remain decorative, like jewelry. Every frame is one of a kind and has a certain aura about it, and the historical fact that they were made from 25 years to a century ago is tantalizing. In an age when it is easy to buy reasonably good-quality eyewear, choosing a vintage piece for your very own “special” look is a decadent pleasure. This book will prove a starting point for you to jump into the deep world of vintage eyeglasses.
