Hi Pia,

Wouldn't "image" instead of "picture" have a broader meaning?

Hej!! Pias , din översättning är korrekt som alltid.

Ett vanlig uttryck för dess betydelse - inom journalistik och media- är "a picture is worth a thousand words".

Tack för de vänliga orden pirulito.

På svenska är det kanske (?) mer vanligt att säga "En bild säger mer än tusen ord". Den innebörden är ju ganska snarlik din länk.

Hi Pia,

In fact, the proverb exists using the word "picture"
It's an old proverb claimed by many, from the Chinese to Napoleon Bonaparte.

My suggestion of using "image" was due to the adjective "good" the sentence holds. That made me think of a more modern and coloquial sentence, inspired in the proverb, but stated nowadays.
