Can you explain this in a bit more detail?
Do you mean rescanned from the original negative? Is that remastering? It’s not a term I’ve heard applied to photography much.

So I did some research I to this and yeah, it might look like that but this image was lifted from the Getty image archive where they claim it is just a high res scan of the original medium format negative.
I suspect they applied some dust removal and maybe a contrast curve.
You’d be surprised how good some of these negatives can look after all this time, right?
The image itself was taken by a chap called Murray Garrett. He used to be Bob Hope’s personal photographer, but shot loads of celebrities up until the late 60s.
Look at this banger of Marilyn Munroe
My Samsung has a remaster option for photos that could have easily spit out an image like OP’s if applied to the original.
