I'm looking for a copy of the 'Pale Blue Dot' Voyager photo to hang on my wall, the 1990 version (I find it more visually appealing than the 2020 reissue) without the Carl Sagan quote superimposed. I adore the Sagan quote but I want the image on its own.
I tried to download the .tiff from https://science.nasa.gov/mission/voyager/voyager-1s-pale-blue-dot/ but the download links aren't working for me, and all the prints I've found for sale have been weirdly expensive for a public domain image.
Does anyone have an alternate link or download for the NASA image?

they screwed up the URLs linked to, remove the /jpeg/ before the filenames and it works.
I managed to get a valid copy via Wikimedia Commons.

The Commons page for this image, containing relevant metadata, is:

God’s favorite solar system. Gods favorite galaxy. God’s favorite planet.
Is the moon visible in the image? If so, cam someone circle it and upload the image as a comment?
The original “Pale Blue Dot” image as a digital file has a resolution of 453 x 614 pixels. Technically anything higher res is an interpretation of the original.
The link OP provided works for me.
