Thanks, so true. I guess I am thinking about how story illustrations generally are well chosen and mean much more with the text than without. Also speaks to how 1 image can be used on both sides of an issue, with both sides thinking it tells their story. Context essential, always.
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but exactly WHICH thousand words only writing can tell you.
Sometimes even the artist can't answer that question!

Being the author of children's books, I totally get this.
