> Instead, Close had sourced the original photo from the BBC Hulton Photo Library in London, now part of Getty Images.
That's a bit disappointing if I am reading it correctly. A photo library initially funded by the taxpayers, is now locked down by Getty Images?
It was originally a private archive. The BBC acquired it in 1958 and then sold it the '80s. Getty Images acquired it in the '90s.
