I think someone said it’s a picture of a model city made to represent what it looked like. Not sure how true that is or if it’s AI. The buildings look cartoonish though so I’m inclined to believe it’s really a model city.
In my eyes, it’s clearly a clay (or similar material) model of a city. Some of the towers taper through the middle as if they’d been sqished into shape by hand, windows and other features don’t maintain a constant shape/size when in rows, and in the modern day image you can make out individual bricks in the tower while in the b/w one everything is completely smooth.

To my old-ass eyes I thought it was an old picture of a painting… Looking closer I could totally see it being an old picture of a model too.
Without source it’s safe to assume it’s AI until proven otherwise
