    Pince-nez type eyeglasses were the most popular eyewear in the USA, Canada and much of Europe during the period 1885 to 1920. A pince-nez had no arms or temples and clipped on the bridge of the nose. It was held in place by either spring powered nose guard grips in the fingerpiece type or a spring bridge with nose guard grips in the hoopspring or C bridge type. Properly fitted and adjusted to each individual, a pince-nez remained securely attached to the bridge of the nose at all times and was very comfortable even during full time wear. Eyeglasses (pince-nez) and spectacles (glasses with temples) : were unisex then. The terms eyeglasses and spectacles had distinct meanings. The rimless pince-nez was the most popular and stylish for all ages. For soldiers,it was great for wear under a gas mask or goggles and army officials stated the a pince-nez was the ideal eyewear. See pincenez1.blospot.com Pince-nez Renaissance blog/site the only place on the web or anywhere for very detailed,accurate info re: pince-nez.Click on table of contents. Many of the photos can be enlarged by clicking on them. The site encourages people to wear a pince-nez.

    What a fun picture of Mr. Pauling! I've actually never seen this one before. I assume he is trying to demonstrating either the alpha-helix on a peptide chain or DNA using the rope here. His DNA model was wrong, but he got the Nobel Prize for solving the alpha-helix.

    My chemistry professor, long time ago, was a fan of Dr. Pauling. Nice picture.
