A son Hugo came to London and then York in the early 1500s.</p><p>The ship is meant to represent progress and commercial enterprise.</p><p>I can&#039;t find anything about Conigree if that&#039;s what it says.</p><p>Can&#039;t find anything about more recent descendants or companies using this image.</p><p>So, some beginner questions- What date did metal blocks like this replace wood cuts?</p><p>If this image was used in the 15th century, what&#039;s a printing block doing here now?. Why would it be recreated for a company that doesn&#039;t exist any more?</p><p>When did this form of printing cease?</p><p>Still googling but any help would be great as without you I&#039;d still be googling ships!.</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
