Monique 008

Metzler is a well known name in the world of optics. They started their activities as early as 1830 in Paris and moved to Stuttgart, Germany in 1911. Their global headquarter is now based in the Netherlands. My collection hosts dozens of Metzler glasses from the second part of the last century. The first owner of these bifocals must have been a lady with a fine, discrete taste. The circle shaped reading segments in the lenses are only visible from this vantage point. Monique took directions quite well, delivering one fine portrait after the other.
