[Commons-l] Obtaining copies of old photos from the Library of Congress?

[David Gerard]

I'm looking for replacements for [[:en:Image:Gifford-pinchot.jpg]],
which happens to be the same image as [[:commons:Image:Gifford
Pinchot.jpg]] - it's US State, not US Federal, so may not be PD. The
LOC has some lovely pics, all pre-1923:

http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?pp/fsaall,app,brum,detr,swann,look,gottscho,pan,horyd,genthe,var,cai,cd,hh,yan,bbcards,lomax,ils,prok,brhc,nclc,matpc,iucpub,tgmi,lamb,:@FIELD(SUBJ+@band(++Pinchot,+Gifford,+1865+1946++))

So, it says "we have the neg." How does one get access to a scannable
copy of the full-sized thing? Would they have a large scan available,
not just the thumbnail? Etc., etc.
