*Probably a reenactment photo, especially after the Danger to Manifold light came on

That’s not a historic photo is it? I think it’s a modern re-enactment. Also, that thing must have been a bitch to steer.

I was thinking the same thing, so I will add an edit.

Not necessary, I was just wondering. She just looks more like an actress than a real person, whatever that means.

Here’s an uncropped version of the photo. I guess it’s legit, because Mercedes uses it as the banner image on their page about Bertha. But it still looks funny to me. I’ve looked a lot of old photos, and that just looks weird. It’s certainly staged. But I will defer to you and Mercedes.

Also this, but with no explanation.
