• You can try using their alternative which is "rich snippets" or whatever is showing there on that page as another option to the Authorship.

• I belive it was a project to enhance a website's viewability on search result pages; correct me if I'm wrong though, wouldn't be the first time.

Like @havok said, google authorship doesn't exsit now. So, I don't think now using it beneficial anymore, you can head over to the post over the Search Engine Land that talks about the same "Goodbye Google Authorship".
