"respect the wishes of the picture subject and the copyright holder"
You can certainly make an argument for the former, but as for the latter, the copyright holder in this case has been aware of the image's use for decades and taken no action to defend their copyright. Case law on this is clear: they have no claim at this point. Further, the implication of legitimate academic and research use over the course of several decades would itself make any copyright claim difficult at best. At this point, it is highly unlikely that the wishes of the copyright holder matter, from a legal perspective.
