Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This book examines those who wore glasses through history, art and literature, from the green emerald through which Emperor Nero watched gladiator fights to Benjamin Franklins homemade bifocals, and from Marilyn Monroes cat-eye glasses to Emma Bovary and Harry Potter.Spectacles are objects that seem commonplace, but this book shows that because they fundamentally changed peoples lives, glasses were the wellspring of a quiet social, cultural and economic revolution.
