Just when you think the internet might have actually overlooked a thing or two, you stumble across something like this: Mustaches of the Nineteenth Century. And don’t forget the subhead: A Daily Celebration of The Golden Age of Upper Lip Hair.

Although somewhat tongue in cheek, there actually appears to be an audience for this. I found it while trying to research turn of the century fashion in Budapest, so clearly Google knows it’s around.

From the homepage:

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.
