I have an office to furnish and am looking for a decent print of one of the famous pictures of Laxman and Dravid at Calcutta - any of:

1. http://www.bigshow.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Laxman-Dravid.gif

2. The picture at http://www.itsonlycricket.com/entry/2127/

3. http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/VVS-Laxman-Rahul-Dravid.jpg

Does anyone have leads as to where I might buy a decent print online?

Many thanks in advance.

It's DIY project. Here's how I would go about it

i) Use Google / Bing for Image search.
ii) Use tineye.com to find the biggest image online.
iii) Use that image to print a poster. Use vistaprint or some other local guy you know

Since this is Indian cricket you are talking about, you are most likely to fail in getting a high resolution picture online.

Plan B.
i) Find the photographer who took the picture.
ii) Connect with him (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Stalk whatever) and gain trust.
iii) Ask the pic and absolutely assure him it's a strict one-time personal printing only.

Plan C.
i) Open your own online Cricket Poster printing shop.
ii) License and Print. I'm sure there is plenty of demand for this.

All in all it is an interesting potential market that you are exploring. So, it's a good exercise to go through at least one path.

Just chatted with the sales representative and here's what she said

########################################################################
Sarah: We don't sell prints; we're a business-to-business company that sells licenses for the use of these types of images by media outlets for editorial purposes.

Sarah: We cannot provide them for personal use, per our contracts with the leagues/governing bodies.

Sarah: Have a great day!

I couldn't even get a chance to say, "Yeah, *** you too!".

Can somebody take down getty?

Get a local art student to paint you an original. Give him a couple of
pics and let him paint you a one off.
Anything else is just paper.

Never done it.
Seems to me to be the perfect chance to go more than a little better
than a picture 'poster'.

www.patrickeagar.com has some action photos that you can order a print. However, none from the Calcutta test.
