spectaeIes Once a Sign Of Wealth.

Spectacles were invented in Italy
about 1885. They were at first very
expensive, 50 were worn only by
wealthy persons or noblemen and so
came to be regarded as a mark Of
rank. The larger the spectables the
higher the rank, and so the glasses
grew to prodigious size. There are
two or three busts extant of Italian
gentlemen wearing specs" and in
one of these cases the lenses are three
inches in diameter.
