Spectacles - Scout Editions Mini Card

Glasses became common in the 1660s, as a pair of lenses set in a frame and used to wear on the nose and ears to help correct or assist eyesight. The word spectacles was adopted in the 18th century and comes from the Latin ‘spectare’, to observe or to look at. Other words used: blinkers, eyeglasses, prisms, bifocals, specs, sunglasses, jiggers, field-glasses, opera-glasses and nose glasses.

Scout Editions is a paper goods brand and design practice based in London. With a love for print, colour and folklore. This is a space to explore our ideas and stories. We are inspired by ephemera, travel, nature, vintage picture books, history and archives. We take observations from the every day and find ways to translate and document our findings. Many are made into editions and sometimes we collaborate we fellow designers and brands. Formed by brother and sister, Wai and Pui. Pui is a graphic designer and illustrator.
