500 years of spectacles ranging from classic to<br />
outrageous covering almost 500 years of design.<br />
For over two decades eyewear designer Moss Lipow<br />
trawled eBay, auction houses, garage sales, and flea<br />
markets worldwide, amassing glasses and photographs for<br />
his renowned collection. This book traces eyewear’s journey<br />
over the past 500 years, and features the finest examples<br />
from Lipow’s collection as well as pieces from preeminent<br />
collections around the world.<br />
Eyewear has experienced a surprising and fascinating<br />
evolution; what was once a purely practical apparatus has<br />
grown into a multibillion-dollar global industry catering to<br />
both the visually impaired and the fashionably inclined.<br />
Accompanying the wealth of images in this wide-ranging<br />
volume is an insightful history informed by a wide variety<br />
of sources, including ancient texts, old catalogues, vintage<br />
magazines, and out-of-print publications of every kind.<br />
