January 2013: glasses with extreme cylinder 001 - 003

woensdag 30 januari 2013

Extreme cylinder (3)

Again it's the "Judy" glasses with the extreme cylinder in the left lens: -4.00; c+9.00 o.
The effect of the cylinder can be seen in the tilted image of the background.
The right lens is +2.00; c+0.50 h. A very common Rx.
The "h" stands for "horizontal", indicating that the axis of the cylinder is around 90 degrees.

Extreme cylinder (2)

The same "Judy" glasses from the 1990's, seen from above. Note the lens thickness near the arm.

Extreme cylinder (1)

Here is a lone crystal veil without a lady. The glasses are called "Judy" and were acquired in Germany.
This and the following photos are posted by request.
The left lens has a highly unusual Rx: -4.00; c+9.00 o.
From this vantage point it may look like a prismatic correction but it's not that. It's the effect of the ultra strong cylinder.
The axis is indicated with the "o", meaning either around 45 or around 135. I measure the strength of the lenses with a set of trial lenses so the axis of a cylinder cannot be given precisely.

New weblog: More Ladies behind Crystal Veil

The present weblog is nearly full so I recently installed a new weblog. So far, it contains two antique portraits of early 1900's ladies in glasses, one from Ireland, the other from Amsterdam, and a recent photo shoot with a new model. Karen is the 22th Lady behind Crystal Veil.
For the new weblog, click http://moreladiesbehindcrystalveil.blogspot.com/

Text in the present weblog will be adjusted if additional information about the glasses becomes available. Recently, the Silhouette company kindly supplied me with the year of manufacturing of 13 Silhouette glasses in my collection. This enabled me to put a year on most of my 100 Silhouette glasses. There is also additional information about some 1980's glasses by Cazal, seen in photo shoots of Brigitta, Carla, Rachel, Astrid and Hiska.
Needless to say, all portraits in the present weblog will remain available.
