Pictures designed to start illusion (13)

I believe the answer is:
illustrations
'pictures' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'designed to start illusion' is the wordplay.
'start illusion' can be anagrammed to 'ILLUSTRATIONS'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for illustrations that I've seen before include "Pictures (in a book)" , "drawings?" , "Examples" , "artwork" .)
