#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"

#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."
