::Hohum is right on. Most of the trouble with them is the high level of [[Compression artifact|compression artifacts]]. I could repaint new images with those as a guide that might look pretty darn close, but it'd take a long time. If you can't find better versions, him me up on [[User talk:MjolnirPants|my talk page]] and I'll start on them. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">[[User:MjolnirPants|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">'''MjolnirPants'''</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:MjolnirPants|<small>Tell me all about it.</small>]]</span> 21:58, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:::{{replyto|MjolnirPants}}Thank you for your disposition. However, my mission is to have the actual Vanity Fair caricatures uploaded, not replicas.

::::I can certainly understand that. As a final offer, I can try to smooth out some of the compression artifacts, but the sad truth is that doing so requires that all the imagery behind the artifacts be recreated. This can result in an image that differs significantly from the original. Really, the best thing to do is try to find better versions. I'm sure that somewhere out there, with luck, you should be able to get your hands on some 300-1200DPI scans. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">[[User:MjolnirPants|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">'''MjolnirPants'''</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:MjolnirPants|<small>Tell me all about it.</small>]]</span> 13:49, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

:I can do '''much''' better than that on these images, honestly. It's a good article, but it's kind of beginner level stuff, and doesn't work well on the levels of distortion these images have. The best thing to do is to smudge and blur by hand, following the contours and details. If you want, I can give it a shot, but as I mentioned above, that involves changing the image. It will be different from the original, but I can't say how much. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">[[User:MjolnirPants|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">'''MjolnirPants'''</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:MjolnirPants|<small>Tell me all about it.</small>]]</span> 13:49, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

;Graphist opinion(s):
{{ping|Hipposcrashed}} I just wanted to give you a heads up. Blurry images are some of the most difficult to fix. In this case, where there is a pronounced motion blur, as well as a shadow blur (the effect of having the same image double-exposed and slightly offset), it would take many hours of work to get something clear. Additionally, the result would look heavily edited, as if someone had applied a couple of filters to an image taken with a cellphone camera. I've spent some time working on it, but the result have been wholly unspectacular so far, and I just don't see any way of doing it right short of manually airbrushing the ever loving crap out of it. Sorry to disappoint, but I think you need to find a better image. I could whip up a digital painting of this image faster than I could restore this one, and though it might look a lot better, I don't think that would work very well. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">[[User:MjolnirPants|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">'''MjolnirPants'''</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:MjolnirPants|<small>Tell me all about it.</small>]]</span> 20:41, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

:::Okeydokey. I've been working on it intermittently all day so far. It'll be another two or three days before I'm finished. The truth is that there's no real way to get the colors '''exactly''' right when you're colorizing greyscale photographs. A keen eye will always be able to tell it's colorized, which is why I suggested the other one ( I could fix the glare in that one, but I can't do anything about the angle). So as long as you don't expect something indistinguishable from a color photograph, I think you'll like the result. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">[[User:MjolnirPants|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">'''MjolnirPants'''</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:MjolnirPants|<small>Tell me all about it.</small>]]</span> 22:02, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

:::::That's probably a good idea. I can pretty much guarantee that there will be at least one person who hates it.

I did some work on the first one.

:Nice work! I initially thought about doing this one, but fixing uneven brightness isn't one of my strengths. I have removed the scratch across his face though. ([[User:Hohum|<fontspan colorstyle="color:Green;">'''Hohum'''</fontspan>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Hohum|<fontspan colorstyle="color:Red;"><sup>@</sup></fontspan>]]) 19:02, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
::Good catch. I completely missed it before I uploaded. That wasn't a scratch though: it was a mistake of mine. I use the quick mask mode to fix the uneven luminosity, and I add masking to the region I want to adjust and invert after the fact. Normally, it works really well so long as I'm patient and remember to blur to remove the brush artifacts, but this time, I accidentally went over the edge a little and didn't catch it.
::The quick mask/invert method is the best way I've found for selecting a region of uneven brightness. It usually works pretty well on glaring too, because it's so easy to see if your selection gradient matches the gradient of the pre-touchup image. Just remember to check your edges by exiting quick mask mode, turning off the ant line and dragging around the sliders on the brightness and contrast adjustments (I didn't do that this time , which is why I messed up). Once you get the selection right, use curves or levels to do the actual adjusting, as I've found the luminosity differences are mostly in the mid tones. Sometimes it takes a couple of passes with ever-expanding regions of adjustment, but the results are usually near-perfect. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">[[User:MjolnirPants|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">'''MjolnirPants'''</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:MjolnirPants|<small>Tell me all about it.</small>]]</span> 20:31, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

::{{done}} Fallschirmjäger is right in that there's not much to be done. However, after doing an image search myself (flikr, google, bing, yahoo, tineye, yandex, dogpile and a few others I have in a script) and not finding anything better than an enlargement of the face in this photo, I've done what I could. Really, if this article is dear to you, I would suggest hitting the pavement and contacting some museums and archives that might have better quality images of him. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">[[User:MjolnirPants|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">'''MjolnirPants'''</fontspan>]] [[User_talk:MjolnirPants|<small>Tell me all about it.</small>]]</span> 15:42, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
