I wanted to paint a picture similar to Homer's "Eight Bells" for the cover of my Digital Signal Processing textbook (Academic Press,1989). But the publisher vetoed it on the fear of a copyright infringement. The book starts out with the story of Capt. Cook's second voyage on the "Resolution",1771-1775, pointing out that even in that era one used analog-to-digital conversion, interpolation, extrapolation, estimation, and feedback of digital data.
