Sadly not the uncropped version. There's a high-res version of the uncropped original, but it's JPG, which is inherently unsuitable for compression testing.

"The Muirhead had a fixed resolution of 100 lines per inch and the engineers wanted a 512 x 512 image, so they limited the scan to the top 5.12 inches of the picture, effectively cropping it at the subject's shoulder."
