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.

Wed 16th: Innsbruck

Ordinarily someone with this much whisker and this little moustache wouldn't make it into the collection.

But what a photograph! It looks as if it was taken yesterday, so sharp and clear is the image and so pristine the card.

And as for that hair-do...

Student. Innsbruck, Austria. Named and dated 1880. Cabinet card.
