Iris 185

The same portrait edited in sepia which was the standard for photography around 1900. Portrait photo cards from that era were made on hard paper and they are collectibles nowadays. However, it's a rare event to come across an antique photo of a lady in glasses. This has to do with the fact that glasses were unisex and not regarded a fashion item before the cat eye wave of the 1950's. Another factor is that one could get away with myopia in a society without cars, computers and so on.
