I haven’t found great, high-res sources, but the real photos are on the Venera Smithsonian page here:

I believe Don Mitchell was able to find the original data files for some of the transmissions and rebuild the photos in higher quality: http://mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogVenus.htm http://mentallandscape.com/C_CatalogVenus.htm
