Wiener Schachzeitung Photographs. Part Four.
Last part. Lots more Moustaches!! ( frequenters of my comments section will understand!! 
Feel free to join in the comments - it's where the fun stuff is - only rule is to be polite. )
One or two unique images here - hopefully they will come in useful.))
You can use that one with the next one - which is an absolute beauty by the way. ( We all know the game that I am referring to. Top games posted on the internet, in my opinion :- The 'Opera Box Game', Kasparov - Topalov, Short - Timman, Botvinnik - Tal. m.g.6. and Lasker - Thomas. Other suggestions for 'done to death and cooked in the internet barbeque until the smoke pours off them' games welcomed!!. Have fun with that one. You could even start a thread with the title 'SEEN IT!! and advertise it here. )
Anyway. I have loads of pictures of the great Sir George Thomas - my favourite is in one of my articles on Malcolm Barker. This one is a gem though. 1915. Page 104.
No, he wasn't World Champion when it was published!
Another unusual one of Lasker.
Some nice cartoons from coverage of the Semmering 1926 tournament.
Chess organiser and benefactor, Victor Tietz was a decent player, and one of Lasker's first competitive opponents.
Another drawing of Janowsky - he seems to have been an artists favourite.
Vidmar - again someone who you can find lots of drawings/cartoons/characatures of. You won't find many of the next guy though - useful to anyone interested in Vera Menchik, I think.
Make what you want of that one!! 
A usable one - Early Flohr, late - career wise - Rubinstein and Maroczy, plus a rare one of Canal - who is also in the previous picture.
Quality wise, it is just about good enough to make useful individual pictures from.
Sadly poor quality, but as the picture is difficult to find it may be of use.
Some 'odds and ends', as I come to them.
That one includes Pokorny, who lost an important game to Lasker 9 years earlier, amongst other things of interest.
Rare pictures of Gereben - a story in himself - and Lajos Steiner.
And to finish with, my two favourites from this final selection.
And Lasker giving a simultaneous exhibition in Vienna, which I have used for the header.
Whilst I am here and have talked about Sir George Thomas,( as well as Ritson elsewhere recently) I will throw in my 2nd favourite chess photo . It is the property of Malcolm Barker, so a definite DO NOT REPRODUCE THIS WITHOUT CONSENT. Thanks.

And one that my friend Kamalakanta has just sent me that features some players pictured on this page. Douglas Griffin has some amazing pictures posted on twitter - go check them out.
O.K. Today's handy hint - the pictures are usually on the pages given for a reason, so if you are looking into a particular player there may be some useful information to be found.
And, for that reason, when you post pictures PLEASE quote the source!! That helps anyone who follows you in investigating a subject. Thanks.
Big thanks to those who have taken the time to look at these pictures over the last week. Back soon with some nice chess which has been kindly sent to me by a good friend. Take care til then.
