I don’t get it. It sounds like you are claiming the article image is not AI slop, but rather an old print. But then you link to something that isn’t even remote

  It looks like AI generated based on https://nmb.bm/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_011054-1536x1053.jpg https://nmb.bm/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_011054-1536x10... for what it’s worth. Would have preferred to see the original though. /e: this is likely not the illustration you were referring to I realize now.

  It was common for paintings/etchings to be made based on existing paintings in the 19th century - I'm guessing the painting link I gave was probably close to an original or source.
