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:

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.
What about their chat feature called "Ask a librarian" on their website?
I've asked for an article from a book, they scanned and mailed the copy
about 2 hours later and the next day I even had a copy of the original
release of it.
Tell them, what you need it for. I think it's worth a try.
Best regards,
