No detailed informations could be found about a machine tool factory "Karl Jockel" in Prag-Weinberge (Královské Vinohrady). It operated in the early 20th century and between the world wars.
Here's my latest engraving block...though this old style is more of a pedestal. It's sweet though, and clean. I got it pretty cheap on eBay....$65 + $12 for shipping.
The hill of Mars or Ares, better known by the name of Areopagus, of which hill of Mars or Ares is a translation. The Areopagus was a rocky height in Athens, opposite the western end of the Acropolis. It rises gradually from the northern end, and terminates abruptly on the south, over against the Acropolis, at which point it is about fifty or sixty feet above the valley. The spot is memorable as the place of meeting of the Council of Areopagus. This body existed as a criminal tribunal before the time of Solon, and was the most ancient and venerable of all the Athenian courts. It consisted of all persons who had held the office of archon, and who were members of the council for life unless expelled for misconduct. Before the time of Solon the court tried only cases of willful murder, wounding, poison, and arson: but he gave it extensive powers of a censorial and political nature. The council continued to exist even under the Roman emperors. Its meetings were held on the southeastern summit of the rock. The Areopagus possesses peculiar interest to the Christian as the spot from which St. Paul delivered his memorable address to the men of Athens.

"The Winning Yacht" - My digital hand colorization of William Wellstood ´s (1819 - 1900) engraving from 1885. The B/W original is in the Library of Congress archive.
William Wellstood was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and emigrated to the United States in 1830. He and his elder brother John both became engravers.
William, who specialized in the stipple engraving technique, was famous for his portraits, historical and landscape engravings. His brother John became a leading bank note engraver.

Daily Dog Challenge: Dear Diary: Today we visited the Aboriginal rock engraving in Kangaroo Street Lawson.
That was my first engraving work...I did enjoy it a lot...
I could actually do london...some time when I got the tools and wood!
Thanks to our good friend Worlock, I was able to make the most splendid version of this weapon. Featuring elegant engravings and shimmering inlays, I would rather keep this over the fireplace than fire it.
On a side note, sorry for the gradient. It was way too big to save so I had to print it out, scan it, and crop it so I could upload it. Unfortunately I cannot provide a pastie so you could see it in it's full glory, so this will have to do.
On the upside, I think the gradient gives it a sort of aged look.
Edit: I've just been taught how to screen cap and I have the image. It is here: www.flickr.com/photos/52548390@N02/5336961291/
