Lots more there for anyone interested in that sort of thing.

Looks like Grigory Levenfish on the right (he didn't play in the tournament, but I believe he was involved in the organisation of it.

Thanks. Does anyone else agree with that identification?

I've limited my original search to pictures up to 1960 (after that, the numbers start to climb), and there are 44 pictures that might be of interest to those with an interest in chess history, so I'll put those in a separate thread.

In the second Capablanca picture I think that's Lasker not Alekhine. Nice pics
