Eyeshades

Green eyeshades are a type of visor that were worn most often from the late-19th century to the mid-20th century by accountants, telegraphers, copy editors and others engaged in vision-intensive, detail-oriented occupations to lessen eyestrain[1] due to early incandescent lights and candles, which tended to be harsh (the classic had a green shade for similar reasons).[2] Because they were often worn by people involved in accounting, auditing, economics, and budgeting, they became associated with these activities.[3]

Green eyeshades were often made of a transparent dark green or blue-green colored celluloid, although leather and paper were used to make the visor portion as well. One manufacturer, the Featherweight Eyeshade Company, described their eyeshade as 'healthful, color peculiarly restful to the eyes'.[4] Green eyeshades are still on the market, typically sold as 'dealer's visors'. They retain a certain degree of popularity in the gambling community.[5]

Several individuals, including William Mahony, received patents for their eyeshade designs.[6] The phrase 'green eye-shades' can be applied to individuals who are excessively concerned with financial matters or small and insignificant details and is used even as recently as 2013 in U.S. Budget Committee Hearings.[7][8]

In popular culture[edit]

The Society of Professional Journalists annually recognizes deserving journalists working in the Southern United States with its Green Eyeshade Excellence in Journalism Award.[9]

Patent for green eyeshade by W. F. Mahony in 1903.

In our recent Continuation Bet article we show cards in this highly readable way:

The cards can be copy and pasted, printed, and viewed on any device, and it is pure text. Here’s how you can embed card suit symbols for hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs directly into your text.

In HTML

Use so-called HTML entities, as follows:

  • ♥ – type ♥ into your HTML document. Make sure to start with an ampersand, finish with a semi-colon, and use no spaces between the ampersand and semi-colon
  • ♦ – type ♦ into your HTML document
  • ♠ – type ♠ into your HTML document
  • ♣ – type ♣ into your HTML document

So, for example, if you want A♥K♦, then type A♥K&diamonds; into your HTML editor.

For colours, you can use inline CSS as follows <span style=’color: red’>A&hearts;</span>

Icon

Naturally it is best not to inline the CSS style, and instead to create a custom class you can reuse.

Copy and Paste (Mac and Windows)

Copy and paste the characters directly from this page, one at a time or all four at once: ♥♦♠♣

Yes, these can be treated like any pure text.

Mac

On macOS, you can use the “Emojis and Symbols” viewer to find these characters and many more. Just type Cmd+Ctrl+space whenever your Mac is expecting you to type, and this will appear.

I don’t know how to do this on Windows or Linux as I mostly work on a Mac. Sorry.
