Mirrors (A Reflection)

Many people have made use of something known as a mirror. They have studied their own reflections, used them for a decoration and used them for science instrumentation and for entertainment including magic acts. London Glazing can cut all types of glass.The mirror is very common today, and are made from a stock formula. The mirrors of the olden days were made from thing like steel, copper, silver and even gold. These early mirror came about around in Germany around 200 years ago. A German chemist called Justus von, created a process for the application of a thin layer of metallic silver on one side of a pane of clear flat glass. This process was soon refined, and the first mirror became a product of the masses. London Glaziers are glass experts. The more modern mirrors that we use now could have been produced in the 19th century, but they have actually been around for a loger time. According to a review in 2006 by a vision scientist called Dr. Jay Enoch that featured in the journal Optometry and Vision Science, the earliest mirrors were made by the people of Turkey from ground and polished obsidian (volcanic glass) around 8,000 years ago. The mirror has been discovered in the old Iraq and Egypt that were polished copper and dated 3000-4000 B.C. Lots of cultures wold have probably created reflective mirrors at various times in history, but perhaps mother nature should be hailed as the true pioneer of the looking glass. The actual first ever mirrors must have been still water pools and rock or clay containers of liquids. Not everyone in the world has paid homage to the rise of the mirror. During the 1970s an anthropologist took mirrors to an isolated tribe in Papua New Guinea, the tribe were horrified by their reflections he reported.
