After some more Google Fu I was able to dig up a bit more on it.

The image is titled "Pocketwatch" is is by Kevin Odhner

It was apparently published in a book: http://www.prenhall.com/capron/

It was indeed in the Povray hall of fame at one point

There was some mention alluding to it in the IRTC sometime before the 
August 1995 round, but I've been unable to actually verify this or 
determine *which* round it was in.  So it's most likely that it was just 
put into the hall of fame before this date but not actually in the IRTC.

Here's the initial hall of fame info on it:

That's about all I can figure out, but it enough that I'm at least a bit 
satisfied.  It was also a blast looking through the old IRTC rounds, 
particularly the 1994-1995 ones.
