The one-stop blog spot for your Nineteenth Century Mustache needs!
Dear Gentle Reader,
Many of the following pages have graphic and clear images of the masculine mustache in all its forms, both sublime and grotesque. My intent is not to shock or titillate, but merely to inform on the subject. The Nineteenth Century gave us many things, but above all it was a hotbed of facial hair experimentation and this is but a poor sampling of those many lost forms.
Confused?

He also started the great trend of wearing your teddy bear's ribbon as a fashionable neck accessory.

jonathan,
You might be thinking of our sister site:

Your sister site sounds like a hoot. Any site where I can get my daily fix of ascot is a dream.
"owed," not "owned."
Re: Nietzsche. I say, if that moustache didn't kill him I rather suspect he would have been all the more stronger for it. That I very much suspect is why Popper was a clean shaven man.
He would have been 162, not 163. I initially made the same mistake (i.e. forgetting that we aren't born on our first birthday), but the Nietzsche Circle set me straight. There are a couple of posts about Nietzsche's birthday on my blog: www.illustratingzarathustra.blogspot.com
