Jolien 341

Jolien posing in a pair of vintage cat eye glasses from the UK. The style of the frame is quite typical for the late 1950's but I saw many elderly ladies in England wearing cat eye glasses like these as late as the 1990's. They are bifocals with circle shaped reading segments. In the Netherlands, this type of bifocal lens did not appear in the streets until the mid 1960's. Whatever the year of manufacture, these cat eye glasses are a cherished item in my collection.
