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.

Monday 19th Movember: Vienna, Austria

Some more athletes, this time members of the Wien Dornbach Schwer Athletik Club of 1900. A couple of them unfortunately didn't get the memo about moustaches but they are rather decoratively adorned with medals. The third man from the left, being especially bouffant, is no doubt the envy of his companions, particularly the man on his left. Note the fur throw and the fact they are all wearing suspenders on their manly calves.
