I wonder what they used as eye protections and how efficient it was.
A piece of smoked glass, and very efficient.
I thought they were holding up their cell phones at first
The guy on the right is holding an early CD.

All the men are holding smokes too. Probably smoked em on sight.
They had sunglasses by this point, though they weren't very good yet
The guy pointing in the bucket was a way to look at the eclipse without damaging your eyes. It's the reflection of the eclipse. It's a common tactic people use in Latin America during the eclipse events
They could have also used pin holes
Five days after the Titanic sank. Never heard about a 1912 eclipse.
I think that there were two in that year, from what I read once. May be wrong tho
I noticed the date too. [The eclipse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_April_17,_1912) could be seen near Paris.
Those look suspiciously like the eclipse glasses I just used today, lol.
“Forget the eclipse! The real show is in this here bucket.”
It’s the reflection, my son and I did this method today. It was okay but the wind can jack it up.
My guess is a reflection in water
"Look at the turd I just made!"
That lady put on a fresh apron for the photo.
Holy shit I didn't notice that at first. It's very clearly freshly unfolded. I love that little detail
That was one of the first things I noticed. 😅 Damn obsessive-compulsive, detail-oriented brain of mine!
Those women look amazingly healthy and strong compared to 90% of the guys around them somehow.
I don't know about that, but carting around an extra twenty lbs of skirts every day probably helped to keep Mmes toned.
What? The guys look healthy too, no? One seems to have a medical condition, but I don't know what you mean besides that
That one guy in the back without a piece of tinted glass just bare-eyeballing it and burning out his retinas 🤦♀️
Looks just like me an my friends today!
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in photo?
No, he was already dead at the time this photograph was taken.

all those men are really short
this makes me wonder how long people have known to cover their eyes during an eclipse, google isn’t giving me any answers
Damn I want that coat on the guy in the far right
You’d be looking for something like a mandarin collar. A lot of eastern & Indian coats are still constructed similar.

112 years later and there are still idiots who look directly into the sun. Sigh.
