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 7th: England
Although this cdv is definitely English there is something rather louche and continental about the pose. You get the sense that this man would have been rather dangerous let loose amongst the ladies...
