I am writing a longer thing, divided into chapters, starting with
the line
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
At the end of the chapters, I want an appendix of photos, so I
write, instead of \chapter{...},
\appendix{Photos}
\section{Very old photos}
....

The result is this

Photos
..1
Very old photos
....

Why don't I get an Appendix A header? It should work for both book and
report, according to K & D.

I do

\backmatter
\appendix
\chapter{Appendix}
\section{Mary had a little lamb}

but the look of this will also depend on the \documentstyle you are
using (scrbook, in my case)

Thanks. I had it wrong, thought I just needed \appendix{...}
but of course it's
\appendix
\chapter{...}
etc.
It works now.
