[Edit to add: I'm going to assume he's still in contact with the family from some of his twitter comments, and that they'll benefit from any money made from this. So they own the copyright and they'll benefit from any money made here.]
Maybe. There's historical significance here for sure.
But the author is not unknown. Jason Scott says "he's dead" so the author is known to be dead. And copyright just doesn't evaporate when you're dead. His heirs own the copyright.
And he's also discussing having people contact him for "reproduction rights". He doesn't own the rights. Am I wrong? IANAL.
Interesting cache of photos though.
