I’ve been thinking about examples where pictures and text are traditionally put together for ease of understanding. This is particularly the case with signs. I’ve collected a few for my artefact. In this slideshow a sign without text will be followed by the complete sign with text. Please compare the examples. Does the image “need” the text? Is the image more obvious without text? Would the text alone be more effective?

I do apologise for the poor quality of some of the photos.
