I should have worked with the .jpg rather than the .tif file to be able to read the projection and explore the function projectRaster(). Now, I just have to fiddle with the graphical parameters so that the y axis is not too far on the left from the image border.

The jpg is likely to be 'lossy', so if you care about the raw data
values you probably need to work with the tiff data (unless thats been
compressed with a lossy algorithm!).
