In case you need some inspiration for No-Shave November, here are some fantastic historic beards from our Hostetler Studio Photograph Collection.
The Dumbledore look:
Father Anton Niermann (1909)
The circus ringleader/movie villain look:
Thomas Griggs (ca. 1901)
The beard-scarf, for the predicted cold temperatures:
John C. Graham (ca. 1913)
The Abe Lincoln muttonchops look:
Charles Edwin Putnam (ca. 1912)
The perfect Santa Claus beard:
Col. G. Watson French (ca.1912)
And finally, no Quad-City historic beard post would be complete without Dr. B. J. Palmer, who made any style his own:
Dr. Bartlett Joshua Palmer (ca.1910)
