Carl Johan Uddman was a Swedish singer at the Royal Opera in Stockholm where he is best known for his comical characters. He was born in 1821 and died 1878. This bust was raised at Villa Godthem (his private house) in Stockholm. The sideburns are wonderfully thick on his lower cheeks and becomes this somewhat corpulent man very well.

Lars Johan Hierta
To most Swedes Lars Johan Hierta is best known for founding the tabloid newspaper Aftonbladet. Few people probably know that he also started the Liljeholmens stearin factory. Hierta was born 1801 in Uppsala and during his 71 years long life he was also a book publisher and a politician. His sideburns can be seen in Munkbron in the Old town of Stockholm. They are curly in a nonchalant way but still rather discreet. Anders Adermark has taken the photo of Christian Eriksson's staty raised 1927.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel
This statue of the great English engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) is located inside Paddington Station in London. Paddington was the main terminus of the Great Western Railway which is Brunel's best known creation. He was also the man behind the Thames Tunnel which today is used by the London underground. Notice how the sideburns seems to be trimmed perfectly to meet the collar of the shirt. Very tasteful. Thanks, Monica P for the picture.Peter Wieselgren
Jöns Jacob Berzelius
Jöns Jacob Berzelius was the man who invented the modern chemical notation as we know it from the periodic table. He also discovered two elements cerium and torium. The Swedish chemist was born in 1779 and died 1848. He had a wonderful pair of sideburns that you don't really notice at first when you look att Carl G Qvarnström's statue from 1858 located in the middle of Berzelii Park in Stockholm, Sweden. Jöns Jacob is facing Nybroviken and should be able to get a glance of John Ericsson's neck on a winter's day when the trees have no leaves.Wilhelm Klemming
In 1904 the public bath Centralbadet in Stockholm opened. The architect and builder Wilhelm Klemming's art nouveau swimming palace with its baroque garden could welcome the first visitors. The same man also built other swimming establishments but few remain today. Willhelm's sideburns were, judging from the bust in the park outside Centralbadet, following his cheek in a smooth and sensitive way.
John Ericsson
This bust of John is located at Nybroplan in Stockholm. Those sideburns are not bad at all. You get an urge to touch them with your fingers. There is another statue of the same man and with just as nice sideburns in Battery Park, New York City. John Ericsson is best known for inventing the propeller and to have constructed the ironclad warship USS Monitor during the American civil war. John's famous brother, Nils, had no sideburns though.
