EDITORS COMMENTS
Progress of the Moustache Mania!: A Street Seller's Lucrative Trade in 1853 This cartoon from 1853 showcases the height of moustache mania during the Victorian era. The image depicts a street seller, dressed in typical Victorian attire, skillfully hawking pairs of moustaches to curious and eager customers. The fashion for facial hair had reached a fever pitch, and this entrepreneurial vendor was determined not to miss out on the lucrative trend. The cartoon, titled "Progress of the Moustache Mania!", captures the essence of the craze that swept through society during the mid-1800s. Men of all ages and social classes were embracing the moustache as a symbol of masculinity and style. From the dapper gentleman with a neatly groomed handlebar moustache to the rough-and-tumble working man sporting a bushy whiskers, the moustache was a must-have accessory for any self-respecting Victorian gent. The street seller in this cartoon is doing a brisk business, with customers reaching into their pockets to purchase the moustache pairs he offers. The vendor's cart is overflowing with a variety of moustache styles, from the elegant curled moustache to the more robust and bushy varieties. The satirical tone of the cartoon is evident in the exaggerated expressions and body language of the customers, who seem to be in a state of delight and disbelief at the prospect of purchasing a ready-made moustache. This cartoon is a fascinating glimpse into the cultural obsession with facial hair during the Victorian era. It also serves as a reminder of the power of fashion to shape societal norms and trends, and the entrepreneurial spirit that drives individuals to capitalize on these cultural shifts. The moustache mania may have been a fleeting fad, but it left an indelible mark on the history of men's grooming and fashion.
