For this reason, photographic illustration of specimens is superior to the most beautiful drawing and, now that we have color photography, the most life-like painting. Diagrammatic portraiture is often essential to clear presentation, but for proof of a fact falls short of a true likeness of the original, if the original itself is not available.
