Thanks to all who replied pointing out that Rectangle makes this easily
possible.
Seems as if this particular, very useful point *really* ought to be
noted in the Mathematica Book and the Help msgs as part of the description of
Show.
The impression one gets from what's there now is that Show is a great
way to combine a bunch of curves on a single plot, and GraphicsArray is
what you add to combine multiple plots.
