For 40 years an old picture hung in a Lincolnshire school, has been used by a succession of boys as a target for any missile to hand, chiefly bits of chalk. But they will have to lind something else to aim at now. for their target is hanging in the Usher Art Gallery in Lincoln.

It has proved to be a sixteenth century "Venetian altar-piece picturing the Madonna and Child enthroned in Heaven.
