Eyeglasses in the context of the past era. Elegant 1930.

1930 began with the global crisis. The symbol of fashion in the era crisis was long skirts, which "came down" immediately after the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange.

"Jazz Age ended October 29"

(This phrase is attributed to American writer Scott Fitzgerald (Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, 1896-1940).)

"Golden twentieth", also called the century of jazz, ended October 29, 1929, in the same ill-fated "Black Tuesday", when on the New York Stock Exchange  Dow Jones and stock prices plummeted catastrophically. Their fall marked the end of a brief financial well-being and the beginning of the Great Depression. (Although the date of the end of the Great Depression in America is 1933, which launched the new economic policies of Franklin Roosevelt, the echoes of the crisis is clearly felt by the end of the thirties.)
