Mother and daughter 006

Esther and Miriam posing in glasses that were highly popular in the late 1950's. I remember ladies sporting them in my native Amsterdam. Esther (left) is posing in a pair made by Lozza from Italy. She could see her court photographer quite well as the lenses are quite weak. Miriam is posing in a nameless pair which I always called the Julia Clifford glasses after seeing a music video made in Ireland in 1967. Julia Clifford (b. 1914 - d. 1997) was a famous fiddler from the Sliabh Luachra tradition and she sported the cat eye glasses shown here by Miriam. The glasses were previously featured in my first photo shoot with Irma in 2009. The Lozza glasses shown here by Esther were previously used in my first photo shoot with Astrid during the winter of 2009 / 2010, and they can also be seen in my photo shoot with Hiska in 2010 (first weblog). Both glasses were probably used as readers by their first owners.
