Since dress was more formal in those days, both men and women frequently wore hats or bonnets with large brims that provided shade for their heads and eyes.
I expect that they would have worn a hat or used a parasol or an umbrella to protect their eyes from the sun.

Before sunglasses were invented, people used various methods to shield their eyes from the sun, such as wearing hats with wide brims, using their hands to block the sun, or wearing visors made from materials like straw or leather. Some cultures also used pieces of tinted or smoked glass to reduce the brightness of sunlight.
