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.

Tues 8th: Cambridge

I really like this cdv. The photographer has matched his client's clothing with the furniture. And the composition is fantastic. But what is he examining so carefully?

Gentleman. Cambridge, England. Carte de visite.
