Captain James Cook edit

James Cook, portrait by Nathaniel Dance, c. 1775, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich

The most famous portrait of probably the greatest navigator of all time. Clearly FP material, but the size is a concern (700 × 883 pixels). Any ideas where we could get a bigger one? Would people support this one anyway? --jjron (talk) 12:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent portrait; keep looking for a larger version. Durova^Charge! 07:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I looked via Google Images but couldn't find any larger images than this. Two suggestions - since the original is in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, could a request for a photo be made of someone in the Greater London area? Second, the museum's website offers a print of the portrait for sale here (dead link though), presumably one could be purchased and scanned / photographed.
