Interesting difference between the two pictures above.In 1927 Felix was forty and still looked young and handsome in the artistically lit studio shot.At the time things were not going too badly in his life-Irfe was operating and he published is first book.Within two years his father,the dowager Empress and GD Nicholas had died.Irfe was foundering and Felix had to sell his house on the rue Gutenburg to the frightful Mrs.Whobee.In the 1929 photo he looks much more than two years older.Never seen a picture of Mrs.Whobee.

yes yes yes! when i saw these pic i immediately wanted to mention this fact too! the first pic is very attractive although he isnt that young. maybe it's just because of the light or something like that?....

In the photo of Felix and Irina posted by Vorontsoff (the first of the four) there appears to be a male in a white shirt reclining just off Felix's left leg.  No doubt a misinterpretation, but does anyone else see this?  A Yusupov Rorshach Test.

You're very welcome. Found them in Beauty in Exile, a wonderful book full of information! I loved the pictures of the ad's for Irfe.

HA! I never thought about that! Although in truth a mustache wasn't really the look for Felix, as it was for Ceasar Romero.

Just realized that both men had a few things in common
Yussupov and Romero?

[Victor]

Funny how we often to forget to concider how different things are now.Rumoured!Though actually[off the threads topic I know,sorry]I've never heard that about Romero.What a joker!

I actually have the copy of this photograph.  It is not a postcard but an actual file photo taken when The Youssoupoffs won the law suit againist MGM.  The magazine that had it and published it was Le Journal, the photo is also copyrighted.  That is what is stamped on the back.

How very interesting.Thanks for the information Brian Joseph.Felix does have a rather satisfied look on his face.He must have felt pleased for Irina.
