Thanks for those photos, Martin. 


Also worth notice is the famous frieze of a long passage of  _Areopagitica_ in the Great Hall of Hart House at the University of Toronto.  I have no photos, but I do attach a link to Christopher Hitchens's November 2006 address on free speech from that room, where he places Milton alongside Paine and Mill in the 'great tradition of English liberty' (!):
