An extremely rare pair of 'Martin's Margin' spectacles, made by Benjamin Martin circa 1750. Steel made with horn inserts or 'margins' around the glass lenses. Temple hinges with raised slotted screws. The straight arms with ring ends, the right arm stamped '36 BM.' A lead solder repair to the right arm ring end, some twine binding the ring end of the left arm, otherwise in excellent condition, no damage and no scratches to the lenses. Note: Hugh Orr, in his 1985 publication "Illustrated History of Early Antique Spectacles" states that Benjamin Martin did not stamp or hallmark his spectacles. It is certainly very rare to find marked models, however there are four known models with Martin's Margins stamped 'BM' in the Carl Zeiss Museum in Okerochen and one pair in the British Optical Association Museum in London. Benjamin Martin, was a London mathematician, instrument and spectacle maker and is credited with making the first eyeglasses that corrected vision in addition to being a reading aid. He published an essay in 1756 in which he explained his theories that the common spectacle then in use was "prejudicial to the eye" because the large lenses allowed too much "light to enter the eye." Martin made his 'visual glasses' which had reduced aperture lenses by way of the thick horn margin and in which the "lens tilted inwards so that the axes of the eye converged on the object of regard." This optical innovation with its extremely distinctive appearance became known as "Martin's Margins". (See cover illustration)

Kurt Hutton (1893 - 1960), gelatin silver print - 'Care Free', Southend 1949, in glazed frame, inscribed verso, 17.5cm x 19cm NB. In his autobiography, Kurt Hutton writes in detail about this photograph: "Fair pictures can be very disappointing. Probably because so much of the atmosphere of a fair is a deliberately calculated effect, meant to get to work on human senses and not on the hard, unwinking stare of a lens. The glitter is bogus and all that is real about a fair are a number of hard-working people who are shrewd and very skilful about their jobs. There is no reason why one should not try to photograph that glitter, but it hardly ever comes off and the fun of the fair escapes - unless it is caught as it is reflected in people's faces. The photograph nearly drove me mad. The editor asked for some pictures of Southend fun fair, so I roamed all over the place and took an endless number of photos. Then the editor said: 'They're no good. I don't want to a series. I need one striking picture.' Southend seemed a long way to go again...so I went to Hampstead Heath. To make sure I took a pretty model with me. This time the editor said the photos were all right, but the girl was modelish - not really full of life, joy and laughter. 'Well,' said the editor, 'get something on the caterpillar. You know the sort of thing. It's quite easy.' I felt like asking 'Is it?'...so the next day I set off for Southend with a young actress. The photographs were very nice. 'This is it,' said the editor. 'Only I'd much rather have two girls. And this girl is fine but she looks more like an Oxford undergraduate than the Southend type.' By now I was beginning to feel slightly irritable...Next morning I met the two girls I had chosen and found one presented no problems, but the other was far from faultless to photograph. As we neared Southend the storm broke...so we just waited. Eventually it did clear up and with a wind blowing at a somewhat rude angle and with the right side of my difficult model's face to the camera, I got my picture. An easy picture such as you might pick up with a bit of luck any fine day." The image was taken on October 8th 1938 and the original caption was 'Two young women enjoying themselves on a rollercoaster at Southend Fair'
