Full-page black and white picture story, excerpted from 'News Chronicle' newspaper, showing four fashion models wearing spectacles by Stanley Unger and Bateman's. Text includes reference to the new term 'eye-wear', wearing spectacles with plain lenses when a refractive correction is not required, emulating Grace Kelly by working your grooming 'around your glasses', the need not to neglect eye make-up even when wearing spectacles and a guide to facial shapes. The name Batemans has been highlighted in pink. Mounted on pages 6-7 of a scrapbook.
