The Finder’s Eye / Identification desk
Show us what
you found.
A useful identification begins with the object itself. Send the frame straight-on, both inside temples and every detail that may carry evidence.
Let the details speak.
Photographs of markings, hinges, rivets, bridge construction and temple cores are often more useful than a portrait. Measurements and acquisition context can help separate a confident identification from a resemblance.
Some questions can be answered from photographs; some require the frame in hand. We will be clear about the limits of the evidence rather than promise certainty that the images cannot support.
