It depends whether you count "the work" as being the single article, or the encyclopedia as a whole, doesn't it?
Not to me. If an author wants the attribution to be directly attached to the image, and not somewhere else, I still think it's perfectly acceptable.
Now, if you're asking instead what the terms are of CC-BY-SA, for instance, that's a whole different ball of wax. But then again, if you're going to claim that the entire encyclopedia is a single work and not a collection of independent works, then you can't use CC-BY-SA anyway, because the entire work is not under CC-BY-SA (parts are under GFDL).
Printed books often have a photo credits section or the like.
And the author of the printed books usually get explicit permission to use the photos, or else they use them under fair use.
