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)
