SUMMARY
A photograph of Gayelord Hauser from his own 1961 book Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Invitation to Beauty (Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, New York), reproduced on Wikimedia Commons (confirmed by direct fetch of the file's Commons description page, 7 July 2026, uploaded 31 July 2019). The Commons page tags the work public domain on the ground that it was published in the US between 1931 and 1963 and the copyright was not renewed. 546x820px. Used as a second, later-period case-level actor image, marking the end of the case's era_end (1961). STEP 3b media-search queried all four supported archives (Wellcome Collection, Library of Congress, BnF/Gallica, Wikimedia Commons) at once for Hauser imagery (2026-07-07); only Wikimedia Commons returned usable actor portraits, so this Commons-only source is an accepted residual after a documented cross-archive search, not an unexamined gap.
NOTES

This 1961 photograph of Gayelord Hauser, taken from his own book Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: Invitation to Beauty (Farrar, Straus and Cudahy), is reproduced on Wikimedia Commons and tagged public domain under the US pre-1964 no-renewal rule. Paired with the 1930 advertisement portrait, it brackets the case’s era (1930-1961) with two images of the same man at the start and the effective end of his peak commercial and cultural influence.
