Reason: It's a beautiful and historically significant picture that illustrates its article in a way no other image could, clearly and beautifully showcasing the works of the photographer that the article is about. It's also significant as it showcases early chinese photography, which is an under-appreciated and/or unknown subject to western audiences. While the image resolution might not be great, for being what it is (chinese historical photograph), it's not bad. The technical standard is very high, it's in the public domain, adds significant encyclopedic value to its article, and is likely among the best examples of early chinese photography that wikipedia has to offer.
