What do you plan on doing with the picture? Is it just for personal use?

[PatriciaH]

Yes, its for my husband and itl be hung on our wall at home

In that case, I don't see any harm.

If you were making a poster campaign for your town then that would be different but as you are just making a copy of the picture for your own personal use, it's ok.
