The NYTimes is dynamically loading the IMG elements, so all that Lynx sees is 
empty FIGURE elements (except for the first image, which is static). Neither 
the figure captions nor the image alts have any content, so there is nothing 
for Lynx to display (except for the word "Image", which is incongruously 
included in the figure).

I hope the proposed lazy-loading attribute will eliminate the need for this 
type of JS-based lazy loading: https://caniuse.com/loading-lazy-attr
