Michael, no they didn't.
I had asked for them to give me this information and received an apologetic reply that a different firm has the rights to this image. I found this somewhat confusing, because at first I was told the following:
Quote:
That image is from a Sept 1989 article and was taken by Peter Essick. He is represented by National Geographic, therefore, we own the rights to all of his images.
I apologize for a big error of my part. Having just run this situation by some of my colleagues, they informed me that we no longer represent Peter Essick. He is represented by:
Aurora & Quanta Productions
188 State Street, Suite 300
Portland, Maine 04101
telephone 207-828-8787
fax 207-828-5524
I was told that we can't offer any advice because Aurora's policies may be different than ours. Again, I'm very sorry for the confusion.

I did request that they give me an idea of the price if it had been their image, but did not get a response.
