It's surprising what you find down the back of the drawers when you move.

Someone has just handed me a copy of Optician ( and the photographic trade journal as it was known) from March 22 1912.

One of the largest articles is a report on the seventh meeting of the Institute of Ophthalmic Opticians at the Holborn Restaurant, Wednesday last. The piece is entitled ' Medical Views of the Optician's Status', Plus ca change.

Well almost, at the a time a subscription to Optician was Eight shillings with a 2 shilling supplement if printed on art quality paper.
