So what's new?

Following the recurrence of one of our favorite topics, the right of 
photographers to shoot anything they want, I came across the following 
in Wikipedia and thought it might be of some slight interest.  It seems

/*The Gate of Calais*/ or /*O, the Roast Beef of Old England*/ is a 1748 
painting by William Hogarth 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hogarth>, reproduced as a print 
from an engraving <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engraving> the next 
year. Hogarth produced the painting directly after his return from 
France <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France>, where he had been arrested 
as a spy while sketching in Calais <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calais>.
