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: Colchester and Batna, Algeria


 
An English soldier from Colchester and a French soldier from Batna in Algeria. Roughly contemporaneous. One with a swagger stick, the other clutching a pair of gloves.

I am loving the Algerian rustic love seat and have a similar-looking occasional table in my bedroom.
