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.

Thurs 11th: Algiers again

Going through one of my albums I found another Frenchman dressed up in Algerian costume to go with the one I posted on Sunday. He has a faint touch of beard which would ordinarily be enough to  banish him from my collection. His outfit however redeems him.

Gentleman in Algerian costume. Algiers, Algeria. Carte de visite.
