Magnificent moustaches, bold beards and masterful muttonchops, it's all here in Jo's Mo Show.
A look involving very long, side whiskers that descended as far south as a gentleman’s lapels.
The style adopted by an American Civil War general, Ambrose Burnside, from whose name the term ‘sideburn’ originated.
aka substantial sideburns extending to the lower jaw, paired with a clean-shaven chin and upper lip – was a standard look for gents in pre-Victorian times.
This exhibition illustrates changes in beards, moustaches and sideburns from the 1780s to the 1980s.
