NOTABLE MUSTACHE IN TORONTO, CANADA
CANADIAN MAIDEN POSES IN MONTREAL
A Canadian maiden poses for her portrait in Montreal, Canada. She clearly is trying to look a bit sexually provocative in this photograph. She manages to succeed in her effort; but one must remember, a respectable turn of the century woman would not assume a more risque pose than the one she has taken in this photograph. Note the wicker furniture in this photograph. The photographers are Larin and Stidworthy of Montreal, Canada (2202 Notre Dame Street). The Larin in this partnership is Henry Larin.

UNUSUAL BEARD IN BRAMPTON, CANADA
A gentleman poses for his portrait at the Ideal Studio of John Cole, in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The man has a most interesting beard. Most of his face appears clean shaven because his beard is worn very low on his face. The man is holding his gloves and wearing a pocket watch. A book and his hat is beside him on an ornate table. He is wearing light colored striped pants, which is a wardrobe style not commonly seen in cabinet card photography. The photographer is likely J. W. Cole, who is listed as a photographer in the Province of Ontario Directory of 1869. To view other interesting images of beards, click on this site’s category of Beards (Only the Best).
