[From Wikipedia]
Pince-nez is a style of glasses, popular in the 19th century, that are supported without earpieces, by pinching the bridge of the nose. The name comes from French pincer, "to pinch", and nez, "nose".
Although pince-nez were used in Europe in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, modern ones appeared in the 1840s and reached their peak popularity around 1880 to 1900.

Take a photograph of your present.
— Alain Laboile
Alain adds...
“Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift,
That’s why it is called the present.”
– Master Oogway (Kung Fu Panda)
TLOP spectacles at Durdle Door. Had visited DD intending some 'classic view' photography, only to disappointed by grey skies and flat light, but came away with this as a bonus prize.
thanks all, this is the choice. Your comments helped me immensely and I learned something. The other one is now just a memory of a small number of people. : )
undecided on the crop, suggestions?

In 1634, Japan's first Chinese-style stone bridge, the Spectacle Bridge, was constructed by Mokusunyoujo, the second-generation Chinese monk of Kofukuji Temple, Japan's oldest Chinese Temple. The bridge gets its name from its resemblance to a pair of spectacles when the arches of the bridges are reflected as ovals on the surface of the river. This bridge, along with Edo's Nihonbashi Bridge and Iwakuni's Kintaikyou Bridge, are considered the three most famous bridges in Japan. Although it is not well known, Spectacles Bridge was the inspiration for the Double Bridge of the Imperial Palace (Source: Nagasaki City Tourism Guide).

Cabinet card of a young woman wearing glasses, not common at that time, by Charles H. Masters, Princeton, Illinois. Late 1880's, I think.
Charles Halady Masters was born in Bureau County, Illinois, in 1843. After being wounded in the Civil War, he returned to Princeton, where he apprenticed himself to his uncle, William Haven Masters, to learn the photographer's trade. He opened his own studio in 1869, and remained in business until his death in 1920.

I got this old Readers Digest book from the Op-shop for the grandchildren to look at. I realise these days they mostly use the Internet to do research but there are lots of great pictures in it which will hopefully pique their interest and send them off to find out more.
