Reposted from the Why I voted "no" thread:

I've just added an ex libris plate to an author's gallery, https://www.librarything.com/pic/6537896, not even as the primary picture. Lilithcat, a regular member of this thread, has flagged it as "Not an image of the author."

The "Guidance on author pictures", https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Contributing_photos_to_LibraryThing, includes "Do not post: ... Pictures that do not represent the author".

On a book website, I would say that an ex libris plate can represent an author. What do other members think?

Look at the paragraph above that:

What makes an author picture?
An author picture should be a picture of the author.

The ex libris would be appropriate on the profile page of a legacy library.
