I can't offer anything about this gentleman except for his name - Albert Wolfe (Wolffungen) – and that he sat for this photograph in Berlin c. 1901. The twinkle in his eye along with his general manly beauty have already made him a popular guy around the internet's tumblr circuit, but with that well-curled 'stache, I thought he'd also be a splendid Mr. Movember. And, of course, he's just all-around sigh-worthy, which makes him perfect for our Casual Friday.
He's good-looking for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat is some 'stach! Awesome hair, too ;)

Under Weekly Musical Notes:
On Monday evening, at Musical Fund Hall, next, Mr. Albert
Wolffungen gives a performance, without costumes or
orchestra, of a quondam classic opera, Mehul’s “Joseph,”
following it with the “prayer” from
“Lohengrin.” The soloists comprise some excellent singers,
who, we believe, are present pupils of Mr. Wolffungen.
The excellent Philadelphia Quartet Club will assist as chorus.
Mr. Wasili Leps will conduct.
Excellent sleuthing, Melody - it has to be the same gentleman! He must have made the ladies in the audience sigh...Thank you so much for sharing this.
