EDIT
I found a current hard-copy version of the Merriam Webster Visual Dictionary.

In fact, it IS suited for all ages and audiences. This includes children, adults and even medical students and physicians, I was surprised to find, based on this post (Cases Medical and Health Blog):

The new Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary incorporates thousands of color
illustrations organized by subject area... useful to patients and students. The full-color pictorial
images are grouped into chapters outlining major themes such as:

Earth
Plants & gardening
Animal kingdom
Human beings
Food & kitchen
Clothing & accessories
Arts & architecture
Communications
Transportation & machinery
Science
Sports & games

I really like the Merriam-Webster Visual Dictionary. The online version is the only one I am familiar with, although I believe it is available in print. It is free to access online, as far as I can tell.

There is also a Visual Thesaurus, but that is more about diagramming word relationships using network-style visualization. The Visual Dictionary Online is definitely focused on pictures and images, just as you described.
