Description: | This is a pair of hornrim spectacles, probably from the late 1800s or early 1900s. The arms are straight and cannot be hooked behind the ears. They have to grip the wearer's head tightly to keep the spectacles on the nose. The spectacles were bought from T. B. Winter and Son, who established their business in Newcastle in 1866 as 'Manufacturers of Mathematical, Mining, Nautical and Optical Instruments'. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East fashion small business made in the North East health | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
