The girls and the man I believe to be friends of my great-grandparents. The picture of the girls is from ca. 1908. The man's photograph might be a little earlier.

Three pretty girls and a cool moustache
Inspired by Sepia Saturday I rummaged through my great-grandparents photographs and found these two pictures that both fit the Hair theme.

Those are great hair pictures!
ReplyDeleteKathy M.
Yes, quite ornate :-)
DeleteInteresting cards- my guy is also sitting in one of those one armed chairs with the tassels hanging down.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, same chairstyle. Funny also because my guy had his picture taken in Copenhagen, DK - I'm guessing yours is American?
DeleteI really like your guy, both his clothes and that crazy-looking hair. Looks like there must have been quite a lot of gel in there - or whatever they used back then.
I like the way his hair stands up; it matches the upward twirl in his moustache.
ReplyDeleteLove the Gibson girl hair do, quite the thing in 1908! And the guy's upturned mustache- points are pretty funny, mimics the two slight peaks in his hair.
ReplyDeleteDon't really know what a Gibson girl is ?
DeleteWhat a friendly-looking guy with a curly moustache.
ReplyDeleteThe man's hairstyle and mustache really seem to belong together.
ReplyDeleteI love his hairstyle, it's sort of "mad scientist" ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the upward twirl too; very unsual!
ReplyDeleteHe does look quite unique. Must have had a very thick and curly mustache that refused to stay in a point.
DeleteThe ladies are lovely with their Gibson girl hairstyles and high collar blouses. The guy looks friendly and confident. His hairstyle and moustache certainly match.
ReplyDeleteAgain with the Gibson Girl - better google it I guess. And yes, there is defintely some sort of theme going on between hair and beard!
DeleteNice pictures! I'd never heard of 'Gibson Girls' before.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures ... love the guy's hair and 'tache.
ReplyDeleteElaborate hairdos and an impressive 'tache :-)
ReplyDeleteI've seen quite a few photos of guys with hair like that, flat in the middle and pointy on the sides. Looks funny now, but must have been quite the style back then!
ReplyDeleteThe Gibson girls were lovely. I wonder if the man chose his hairstyle deliberately to match his mustache.
