I have a couple of photographs I believe are of Boris Ivanovsky. Can anyone suggest a photo source or supply an image of Ivanovsky so I can confirm whether the images I have are of him.
Thanks.

Alexey,
Thank you for the image. It could well be Ivanofsky, the hair and hairline are similar. Too bad he is facing away from the camera.
It may be easier to get an ID if I simply posted one of the photographs; here it is:

Definitely Ivanowski. Compare with Georgano Encyclop. page 243.

Gary,
Yes indeed, the photo was taken back in the "good old" days when it was the drivers that were fat and the tires that were skinny - not the other way around as it is today.
Allessandro,
Thanks for the ID.

One more pic from Le Mans '31:
(Source: 'Autoreview', 12, 1997)
The dates of Ivanovsky's birth and death are unknown, and the only thing about him that can be found is a short summary of his career from 1924 to 1931.

Checking a number of sources, the name appears as both "Ivanovsky" and "Ivanowski". The latter spelling gets more Google hits than the former. Thanks for the tip.
