@CultureDoug In the case of the Hausmann image, is there any indication of how much would go to Hausmann's estate? Strikes me as very strange that the fees should be the same.

'Rules' were areas outside the jail walls where imprisoned debtors were allowed to live and work.
According to John Howard, aside from the Fleet & Bench prisons in London, a handful of other prisons had 'Rules': Losthwithiel, Carmarthen and Newcastle.

Got to see William #Kentridge: The Battle Between YES and NO, at the Kunsthalle, Prague.
A marvellous exhibition; 'To cross one more sea' is an extraordinary, terrifying, giddy-making installation, a retelling of transatlantic crossings.
