·George Orwell. Nineteen eighty four.
(Your one clue is a paddle, not an oar!)
Strangely, I was thinking about that book on Monday. Along with another tome from the same era.

·Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged".
I quickly figured out Atlas and shrug, and as I remembered the term from many years ago, I had to look up the author.
@JimInOz ,
indeed! Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged. It was decades ago when I read it. As I recall, I set out to read it cover to cover, and I did. It is a book of many pages. Some books I pick up and read in a day and a half or so, because I can’t put them down. Atlas Shrugged was not one of those!

·John Milton. Paradise Lost.
Marion Robert Morrison aka John Wayne = JOHN
Water wheel = mill = MIL
Barrel, cask, tun = TON
Soldier, paratrooper = PARA
Dice = DISE
Orienteer, map = LOST
Ergo: John Milton’s poem Paradise Lost.

·Sandro Botticelli painting the Birth of Venus.
Don’t ask me to explain the first clue, aside from the sand. That ain’t no robot! But the plural of cello is celli. And that is the planet Venus.

It’s how someone in the UK might refer to the gluteus maximus: ‘botty’ 😉
It’s all irrelevant anyway, you offered the solution and that’s all that counts. Well done (again)
Will have to work on yours in the morning, if no one else chimes in, as the sandman’s beckoning.

·Nothing’s coming to mind, but I’m wondering if the first picture alludes to Beau, or Bo?
No. Nothing to do with bow or beau. The clue shows Mellie Dunham, taken circa 1920. He was a friend of Henry Ford, Herbert Firestone, and Thomas Edison. But WHO he is is not relevant to the answer! The first clue IS in that picture. The rest is up to you.

Hmm! No takers! No clues either.
