Comment (by alexstine):

 Hmm, I think this might be caused by the elements wrapping the image.

 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/figure

 Probably need to do the following:
 1. Remove the figure.
 2. Remove the link wrapping the image.
 3. Figure out some other way to represent ALT text to sighted users.
 4. Place the view larger image button somewhere else.

 In the context of a link, the ALT text should actually describe what the
 link does not what the image is. These are things I sadly did not think
 about from the top of this ticket.

 Thoughts?
