Searching for really old ASCII lineprinter art

Searching for really old ASCII lineprinter art

alt.ascii-art · 1 message · 5 May 1996

I'd like to find the actual datafiles for some of those really old 
ASCII artworks from the 1970s, once produced on teletypes and 
lineprinters using character set graphics and/or overprinting, 
like the Mona Lisa, the Moon, Snoopy, Einstein, etc.

Do these exist on the Net, or in the collections of today's ASCII artists?
