"Side Whiskers: A Timeless Trend in Portraits and Fashion" Step back in time with a collection of captivating portraits showcasing the enduring allure of side whiskers. From the distinguished visage of Georges Cadoudal, sketched on that fateful day in May 1804, to the mysterious Spanish smuggler immortalized by Langlume's engraving in 1815, these facial adornments exude an air of intrigue. Intriguingly modern yet undeniably classic is Eugene Belgrand's portrait from around 1870. His meticulously groomed side whiskers frame his face with elegance and sophistication, capturing the essence of a bygone era. Similarly, Vautrin's illustration from Balzac's "Le Pere Goriot" transports us to a world where dashing gentlemen sported impeccably styled sideburns as they navigated Parisian society. But it wasn't just men who embraced this fashionable trend. Camille Pleyel donned her own version in an enchanting engraving featured alongside Cesar Franck at St. Clotilde Basilica's organ console. These women defied convention and showcased their individuality through their unique style choices. Beyond portraiture, even fashion illustrations celebrated the charm of side whiskers. Whether depicted leaving for a ride in a cab or dressed elegantly for an evening affair, these depictions from Le Journal des Tailleurs captured the essence of sartorial refinement during their respective eras. Amongst these iconic figures lies Henri Dunant and Charles Darwin—both pioneers in their fields—who proudly wore their distinctive sideburns while making history. Their intellectual prowess matched only by their impeccable sense of style. Lastly, we encounter Leopold I—a regal figure whose lithographic portrait showcases not only his royal lineage but also his commitment to embracing contemporary trends like sporting impressive sideburns.
