Reason
Engaging composition. The shallow depth-of-field gives it a dynamic feel. Presents a unique and fascinating object in a way that draws attention to the encyclopedia article (and provides an interesting contrast to the modern land yachts featured in the article). Excellent quality for a historical photo. It is on the small side (925 px) but it is the largest size available and the criteria seems to make allowance for historical photos.
