It is strongly recommended that the protologue of the name of a new taxon at the rank of species or below include at least one photograph of the mounted holotype with its label."To my mind, adding even the simplest photographs would improve the utility of type material for current and future researchers, not to mention Artificial Intelligence (machine reading, machine learning). It might also help improve the quality of labels.Acknowledgement I thank John McNeill for his encouragement and Nicholas Turland for improving my wording.
