"A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words"

Saturday Proverb:

Proverb: "A picture is worth a thousand words"





Meaning: 

This is an English idiom. It refers to the idea that a complex idea can be conveyed with 
just a single still image or that an image of a subject conveys its meaning or essence more
effectively than a description does.



History / Interesting Fact:

One of the earliest known references to the expression is from a 1911 newspaper article in which newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane, speaking about journalism and publicity, says “Use a picture. It’s worth a thousand words.”
