19th Century Riding Temple Frames

Riding temple eyeglasses were introduced in 1885 and remained popular until 1920. Most lenses are oval. Round lenses are sometimes found. This period saw the introduction of colored glass as a sunglass. Color lenses before this period usually served a medical purpose. Common colors are dark green, light green, amber, blue, and smoke.
