Claudine 008

When I suggested to Claudine to do a photo shoot in

glasses from my collection, she told me that optician's

shops usually only have one or two frames that are more

or less suitable for a narrow face. I was happy that she

took up the challenge and accepted my invitation. For

this specialist photo shoot I dug up a number of frames

that match with a PD of 55 and this pair by Cobra was 

one of them. Glasses with high, narrow frames were not

all that rare during the 1970's and 1980's when so much

experimentation with unusual frame shapes was done.

The Rx of the lenses in these Cobra glasses provide an

almost perfect match with the model's own prescription.

The glasses were a discovery at the inexhaustible flea market

"Waterlooplein" in the late 1980's. They were also featured

in my photo shoots with Brigitta and Margriet (first weblog).
