Victorian and Edwardian Beards as the Apex of Gentlemanly Adornments.
Gentle Readers
The Nineteenth Century was a renaissance of facial adornment and experimentation. Never before or since has the beard been such an exquisite presentation of unabashed masculinity. Herein, find but a poor sampling of the magnificence that was the Century of the Beard.
Here, then, is a not too closely cropped beard overtopped with a fine mustache. Had he chosen the mustache without the beard or the beard without the mustache he would have lost the gentlemanly effect entirely. No, in this case the one must have the other.

A fine looking man. Perhaps he went to the Beard Clinic when it was still in its infancy.
