Although the press release is dated 1966, I believe the photo itself to be from 1964/65.

 

By supremely talented Bell Aerosystems artist/technical illustrator Carl Zoschke. Sadly, despite his long tenure with the company - to include during there heyday - I know of only a handful of works by the man, all stunning. Incredibly disappointing.
