The french painter Emile Friant (seen looking up from his easel) abandoned the academic style and atelier methods of his precocious youth, moved to Nancy, and began painting scenes of rural life by daylight.

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, men often sported spectacular beards and mustaches and dressed with pride and care. This blog is a celebration of the golden era of the masculine mystique.
:) Amazing.
