This blog is dedicated to ladies in glasses. The vast majority of the portraits on this blog feature ladies wearing glasses near their own Rx. I felt that this would give a more natural flavour to the pictures and also a more natural setting for the photo shoots from which the pictures on this blog are selected. Nearly all the glasses featured in this blog are from my own collection.

These beautiful Metzler glasses were another buy at the Amsterdam flea market "Waterlooplein" sometime during the 1980's. The glasses showed considerable wear and tear, indicating that their first owner used them constantly for many years. My guess is that the glasses were made in the mid 1970's when frames were reaching the size of shop windows. "Never mind the eyebrow line of a lady, simply raise the roof!". But Metzler has always been a trend follower rather than a trendsetter. Their designers adapted the latest trends to the taste of clients who wished to avoid extravaganza.
