Does anyone have the full collection of Elvis photos by Alfred Wertheimer in highest possible quality? (lemmy.ml)

Just as the title says. I prefer lossless PNG over lossy JPEG, in order to avoid compression artifacts. Anyone know where to get the full collection for free? I searched the Internet to see if someone else had uploaded them, but only found links to the Getty Images collection.

Maybe you can find some pictures older than 70 years in some internet archive, as that's when the American copyright says something is public domain, IIRC.

Some very specific and less popular media like your Elvis stuff maybe just needs to be bought. The time you lost on searching for those and posting here repeatedly you could have spent working a minimum wage job in most economies and afford to buy it.

But I want all the photos, and at the rate Getty charges for the max resolution (which is what I want), I would have to sell my house first, and I still wouldn't have enough money. That's why I want to know how to get them for free, because Getty overcharges by a factor of over 100x. Plus, I checked, and anything (movies, music, photos, etc.) involving Elvis won't go public domain until 2046 at the earliest, 2067 at the latest. That's way too long for most people to wait.
