Alamy's "Search with an image file..."

[Harry Harrison]

I've never had much reason to use this but an Alamy Editorial Twitter post intrigued me (sorry Elon):

I was expecting it to link to a new Blog post but there was nothing but the image which I downloaded and put into this search, I probably could have just pasted in the link instead. It took just a couple of seconds to bring up 508 'visually similar' images with this one at number 1! Pretty impressive out of 350 million or so. Didn't help me find what the post was referring to though.

 

Supplementary question - does this type of search show up in AoA?

Another rather bizarre post on the Alamy Editorial Twitter feed promoting the same account. It appears to be quoting from an interview but still no link.
