Illustration by American illustrator F.O.C. (Felix Octavius Carr) Darley (1822-1888), from SKETCHES ABROAD WITH PEN AND PENCIL, 1868.

Judging by the rider's extraordinary moustache, one must wonder if the fellow's large bearskin cap mightn't actually be his natural hair.

After the masked ball (1893) by Heinrich Lossow (German artist, lived 1843–1897). That was fun, when's the next one?

And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.' 🎵
