A pair of green-tinted spectacles is on display in the Monticello Visitors Center. These are believed to have belonged to Thomas Jefferson, although we do not know precisely what he used them for. According to Silvio Bedini, tinted glasses first appeared around 1810. They were not typically used as sunglasses as we might think of them, but “to improve the vision out of doors.”
why is he not depicted wearing these in every portrait
Somebody with art skills please rectify this horrible oversight.

Happy birthday Mr. Jefferson
The mod is flying from India to France today and so can’t post anything in honor of this day, so why not hit up the submit box with your favorites and I’ll share those next weekend to spread out the Jefferson love?

Anyone want to be the second mod?
It’s not that hard to do:
- Find quality Jefferson-related posts.
- Click to reblog here.
- Tag.
- Add to queue.
- Enjoy.
My job doesn’t allow me the hours to continuously search and check and since there’ll be a lot of traveling, including a move to India for 1-2 months where I’ll be MIA on Tumblr, that means a lot of time not able to queue things.
When to look for things: if you wanted to constantly search on a regular basis you could; if you wanted to do it every once and a while and just queue up a massive number of posts, you could do that too.
If anyone is interested message me and let me know. Thank you!
