Green eyeshade (original) (raw)
Green eyeshades are a type of visor that were worn most often from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century by accountants, telegraphers, copy editors and others engaged in vision-intensive, detail-oriented occupations to lessen eye strain due to early incandescent lights and candles, which tended to be harsh (the classic banker's lamp had a green shade for similar reasons). Because they were often worn by people involved in accounting, auditing, economics, and budgeting, they became associated with these activities.

| dbo:abstract | Green eyeshades are a type of visor that were worn most often from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century by accountants, telegraphers, copy editors and others engaged in vision-intensive, detail-oriented occupations to lessen eye strain due to early incandescent lights and candles, which tended to be harsh (the classic banker's lamp had a green shade for similar reasons). Because they were often worn by people involved in accounting, auditing, economics, and budgeting, they became associated with these activities. Green eyeshades were often made of a transparent dark green or blue-green colored celluloid, although leather and paper were used to make the visor portion as well. One manufacturer, the Featherweight Eyeshade Company, described their eyeshade as "healthful, color peculiarly restful to the eyes". Green eyeshades are still on the market, typically sold as "dealer's visors". They retain some popularity in the gambling community. Several individuals, including William Mahony, received patents for their eyeshade designs. (en) La visiera verde è un dispositivo di protezione individuale indossato come un cappello per ridurre l'affaticamento degli occhi dalla luce intensa. Fu molto impiegato tra la fine del XIX secolo e la metà del XX secolo da ragionieri, telegrafisti, redattori e altri impegnati in occupazioni ad alta intensità di visione, laddove l'uso delle candele e delle prime lampade a incandescenza era particolarmente intenso. La classica lampada ministeriale o da banchiere era dotata di un paralume di vetro verde per motivi simili. Tale dispositivo era spesso indossato da persone impegnate nella contabilità, nella revisione contabile, nell'economia e nel bilancio, tanto che è tuttora associato a tali attività. Le visiere verdi erano spesso realizzate in celluloide trasparente di colore verde scuro o blu-verde, pur esistendo anche modelli in pelle e carta. Le visiere sono ancora vendute sul mercato, in genere come "visiere per croupier" e hanno un certo grado di popolarità nella comunità dei giochi d'azzardo. Brevetto per visiera verde di WF Mahony nel 1903. Diverse persone, tra cui William Mahony, hanno ottenuto brevetti per il design delle loro visiere. (it) |
