Nothing. Wikimedia are not the only group that knows about Bridgeman
Art Library v. Corel Corp.

Some kind of joint fundraiser to pay for complete digitalization in
return for the NPG dropping their copyright claims perhaps. But that
simply leaves us with the same problem with say the  national maritime
museum.

The release low res images as PD approach won't work in this case. We
know the hi res stuff is PD in the US so have no real incentive not to
use them (and if we don't others will).
