You could read the text next to it. They have an official specification, and they’re occasionally used as cells in larger battery packs, but they never got adopted in consumer products, so you can’t just buy an off the shelf A battery. Nobody has bothered to get a picture of one, because nobody actually cares that much.
Thanks - I’m adding some text now next to the drawing about occasional sightings in Canada, but as they don’t care about capturing it nobody has a picture of it. Hence validating my drawing as the only proof.
Right - so that is a photo of an AA battery and a drawing of an A battery.
So if I take a photo of a gorilla and draw Sasquatch next to it I have proof of Sasquatch! This is good info to me.

My mistake!
I think you were right, it does exist, but Wikipedia doesn’t have a picture of one they can legally use. For example I found this:
https://www.batteryequivalents.com/a-size-battery-equivalents-and-replacements.html
Honestly it feels like “1/2AA Battery” should just be an “A battery”
Ah - so I need to put the drawing on Wikipedia. Noted!
Anything else that’s needed? Quickly please as I’ve already called NYT and CNN

Can someone fix this dire state of knowledge?

No public image at least.
