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.

Tuesday 12th Movember: Paris

We tend to think of the English as being the bowler-hatted type. But here we have four Parisians sporting bowler hats - and then, wonderfully, not sporting them.

This is from Edwardian times but as they are French, and have no King, they are no Edwardians. What then are they called? What do the French call that period in history? Answers on a postcard please.

The back row have the best moustaches by far, obviously. Click on the pictures for a closer view.
