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.

Sat 21st: Pskov, Duluth, Charleroi

Hats and moustaches. A great combination. Here's a selection, with one of my most expensive ever purchases first - a Russian from the North-West district of Pskov, signed and dated 1908. He's followed by a Walloon, apparently draped in velvet, from Charleroi, Belgium and a fur-coated, prosperous American from Duluth, Minnesota. Two cartes de visite followed by a cabinet card.
