Great Mustaches of the LOC

Posted by zyrcster in Across The Commons, Articles

Ya gotta love folksonomic tagging! While looking through recent uploads to the Library of Congress, I came upon the tag “great mustaches of the LOC“. We’d love to hear the story behind this meme. The New York Times even picked up on this one.

This club includes the famous dandies …
Kaiser Wilhelm
and everything from somewhat psychedelic images …
H.C. Ide
to stately long handlebars …
Dr. Francisco Bertrand – Pres. of Honduras
and from baby-fuzz ones …
Prince Ernest of Cumberland
to unkempt ones …
Dr. R. Robinson
and even a most Nietzschean mustache.
Henry Vivian
