I was unaware of the 'Movember' awareness drive until a couple of friends starting taking part a few years ago. Here is a post featuring some vintage moustaches. The elegant waxed and curled example sported by Monsieur Bruyneel in a previous post is also worth looking at here.
I estimate that these photographs date from c.1890-1920, any clarification welcome.
Here is a bristling, ebullient moustache warming the face of a clergyman:
An impressive, though somewhat drooping walrus-like effect here.
Trim, smart, controlled, contained. Not a hair out of place.
Delicate and rather timorous, with a good effort to turn up the ends nicely and present a neat finish. That collar looks heavily starched and not too comfortable.
A solid, job-done moustache; thick coverage for warmth and effect but kept trim so as not to get in the way of the mouth. Intriguing flower in the lapel - something from the Morning Glory / Convolvulus family?
A former co-worker participates in Movember. Such a good cause. You have some great 'staches' here.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I think there will probably be a second post on the subject when I have had a sort through my collection.
