Standing Mirror

In primitive times the first type of mirror used by people were most likely, pools of dark still water collected in some sort of vessel. Obsidian, a naturally occurring glass was the earliest manufactured mirror. Obsidian mirrors found in modern Italy have been dated to around 6000 BC. From 2000 Bc polished stones mirrors were dated in Central and South America.

The reflective coating (silver) that is applied to the back of the glass surface to prevent corrosion was invented by the German chemist Justus von Liebig in 1835. The silvering process was adapted for mass manufacturing and led to the greater availability of affordable mirrors. Glass mirrors are often coated with non-toxic silver or aluminium. There are many types of glass mirrors, each of them represent a different manufacturing process and reflective type.
