Hello,
I am currently uploading the Cichorius plates
[url=at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categ ... ius_Plates ]here[/url]. They are all public domain, that is they can used by anyone for any (legal) purpose without asking permission.
I took the captions for most pics from Cichorius himself respectively Frank Lepper & Sheppard Frere (1988), but need assistance for naming the details ("Auschnitte") I made from various pictures.
Are the following descriptions ("catapult", "carroballista" etc.) correct?

PS: Did you notice that the shade of colour of the plates varies wildly from brown over greenish to grey? I assure you I did my best to keep the light conditions stable, but I came to realize that it took only very minor differences (a small cloud or something) to change profoundly the appearance of the pictures. I noticed the same in museums, too.
