Photo of Cardinal Newman?

For the visit of the relics of St Therese, I bought a large photo of the saint from the Carmelite Book Service, had it framed and put in church. I would like to do the same for Cardinal Newman as we prepare for his beatification. Does anyone know where such a thing can be bought? I have looked at the CTS, Pauline books and the websites of the Oratories without success.

Father Brown,
You can buy portraits of Cardinal Newman from the National Gallery. There are 28 portraits to choose from.

Your best bet is probably to find an image on google image search that is large enough to print and get it done somewhere like Asda, or Spectrum Images on St Mary's Place in town if they can't do it large enough. There are one or two images of newman online which should be large enough to print, such as:

May be copyright issues, but since it's not for commercial use you should be OK.

Amfortas, many thanks for your reply: I`m stuck for choice now!

I agree with Ronan. Cheaper and just as good. Please thank Ronan and I for the suggestion!
