George Mayerle’s Eye Test Chart (ca. 1907)

"The chart was a culmination of his many years of practice and, according to Mayerle, its distinctive international angle served also to reflect the diversity and immigration which lay at the heart of the city in which he worked. At the time it was advertised as 'the only chart published that can be used by people of any nationality.' "
