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.

Saturday 2nd Movember: France
































Postcard. Postally used. Dated 8th December 1909.

Back in the day the French, as well as the Bulgarians, knew how to twirl a moustache. These two take the term 'dandy' to an extreme. I particularly like their striped chairs, matching yellow hats and choice of Alpine backdrop. Actually I like everything about this picture. Click on it for a closer view.
