Except when process protects us from (potentially lenghty and costly) legal proceedings. Without a tag, it is not clear whether we have the right to even host the image.

Is it not, theoretically speaking, possible for someone just to assert ownership of it, and upload it under public domain? They can take full responsibility for any (highly unlikely) challenge to their ownership of it coming from the family or estate or whatever?

I'd sooner make the (somewhat suspect) claim of fair use - after all, it's an article about the subject, etc.
In thoery you could ask his estate but they might be difficult to get hold of.

I think you are all missing Antheres point. Who cares whether it's fair use or not? Do we really have to be so anal about the rules that we will infact bring this to IfD, instead of just quietly ignoring the copyright issue in this very special unique case. We are people, for christs sake, not automatons! Sometimes, process is not that important.
