«A picture is worth a thousand words» – Who told it?

The phrase «a picture is worth a thousand words» is an evolution of the ancient Chinese proverb that says: «Hearing about something 100 times is no more convincing than seeing it in front of you even once.» The inspiration belongs to the American advertiser Arthur Brisbane of the Syracuse Advertising Men’s Club,

who first used it in March 1911. Due to its Chinese origin, it is attributed it to Confucius himself, the well-known ancient Chinese philosopher who lived from 551 BC to 479 BC.
