I think it means that there is a zone in the source doc @area52 (of which we
may or may not have a picture, go there are find out); and what we have here is a picture
which is how to choose to represent that area in our edited text. 

Not the same as your interpretation, I think.

example: the zone may show an ornate character, which we  represent
here (in the edited text) with a graphic. not necessarily the same
graphic.
