HISTORY OF THE MIRRORS
The first mirrors used by humans were most likely bodies of water dark, still water, or water collected in a recipient of some sort. The earliest manufactured mirrors were pieces of polished stone such as obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass. In Europe, during the Renaissance, European manufacturers are developing a superior method of glass mirror. In France, during the reign of Louis XIV, the Royal Manufactory of mirrors glass produces the mirrors of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles.
