Arabic term or phrase: في صور وسطور
Dear colleagues,

This is a book about a brief history of a certain college. The book has pictures and text alike. The term in question has been printed on the front page.

Is there a common equivalent in English supposed to be used here? It is not a "picture book" because it does not have illustrations. It has real pictures. And needless to say, it is non-fiction.

I thought of translating it as "Visual and Verbal Narration" or "Text and Photographs" but I'm not satisfied.

Looking forward to your responses.
