#1 A Graduation picture of a woman from Boston, US in 1909. Per Flickr - (Not Challenging our Host Fred) - more - Pretty young woman is wearing a classic rimless finger piece pince-nez which was considered the ultimate in fashionable and practical eyewear especially for those of high school or college age as yearbooks of that time prove. All eyewear was unisex then

Another Source States:
"Portrait of an English Royal"
Per this poster "Snakes Wholump8565" the following observation:
-- As Time marches forth, clarity, and knowledge of the subject recedes, only vague references remain, from our vantage point in the passage of time; but she is a beauty in the then to this now. N’est-ce pas vrai? --

#9 It's a pince-nez, they pinch your nose and hang there. Not just Morpheus, Teddy Roosevelt wore them too.

#12 "I say, won't you wear your pince-nez?"
"I shall never be seen thus..."
"Obey!"
"...for the fashion in France
Is to go without pince-nez!
Please try to see reason!"
"Okay."
