Highlights from my collection of nineteenth and early twentieth century photographs (cabinet photographs, cartes de visite (cdvs), albumen prints, real photographic postcards) of men with moustaches (or mustaches, depending on which side of the pond you hail from). We travel the world gleaning bits of information whilst admiring the expertly twirled moustaches on display.

Mon 23rd: Harrogate & Munich

Whose to know whether these portraits are of brothers or friends or lovers? The truth is forever lost to us...What we do know is that photographs of male couples posed sideways on a cabinet card are extremely rare.

Two gentlemen, Harrogate, England. Two soldiers, Munich, Germany. Cabinet cards.
