In Prickett-121  text appears on top of an image.
I copied the code for the image from another bio (Layman-280) in which the text wraps properly.  
 
In both cases the # of pixels of the image to be displayed is 370. 
In the first case (Layman-280--text wraps properly) the original image was 362 pixels;;
in the second case (Prickett-121--text on top of image) the original image was 370 pixels.
 
Below are excerpts, beginning with the last bit of text before the image:
