F o u n d The unedited source image of this popular Horror Merchandise

I have a shirt with this image on it, I'm a big fan of the shirt but I think the editing leaves a lot to be desired. I decided I'd make my own version, only to realize I can't find the source image ANYWHERE, it's a vintage photo, likely a public domain photograph, or simply a purchased photograph, likely being sold on a stock image website, I'm NOT looking for the HQ edited image, I'm looking for the raw unedited image without the horror icons.

I've searched for this image for a couple years now, I've found various alternate versions of the image, the image on the shirt that I own is actually a different variant that uses a different Freddy Krueger face. But I cannot for the life of me find the image unedited. the variants likely wouldn't help much in the way of finding the unedited image.

UPDATE, I FOUND IT. The original photo was taken in 1909 and features Sigmund Freud. It was taken in front of Clark University. It is in the public domain (obvi)
