THE HISTORY

Lorgnette Glasses originated in the 17th Century for use at the opera. Derived from the French word lorgner - meaning "to ogle," high society ladies controversially used their lorgnettes to spy stealthily on their adversaries or gentlemen they fancied in public. In the 19th Century, the lorgnette served as a more practical vision aid rather than an instrument of jealous leering.
