Sally Soames, the photographer, died last week and I've seen some realite in amongst the famous faces: google image search for Sally Soames photograph boy for some of them. One I liked that came up in the search (not by Sally Soames, but that's Google for you) was the first one here: https://project-space.london/marilyn-stafford-stories-in-pictures-1950-1960 The usual agencies, Shutterstock, Alamy, Getty etc are bound to have what you want.
