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.

Thursday 1st Movember: Finland & Ratisbonne

Finland. 1908. If only I could work out what was written on the reverse. I have failed to even fathom where it was posted to: Wana-Kaofa? Beppo? Help me please!

I have managed to discover that the stamp is from Finland under Russian control.

Anyway, the Finn is followed by a Frenchman in Regensburg, South East Germany (Ratisbonne in French) photographed in November 1917. André is sporting a rather fetching knitted number, complete with tie.
