En français, comme en anglais, le terme image est employé de plus en plus souvent comme synonyme d'illustration, surtout en micro-édition. Il serait par contre préférable d'éviter d'employer image pour désigner illustration dans un texte où il pourrait y avoir risque de confusion avec le sens premier d'image. 1, record 1, French, - image
