Globus; illustrierte Zeitschrift für Länder- und Völkerkunde
Globus was an illustrated German periodical of geography and ethnography, published in Braunschweig by F. Vieweg und Sohn in 1862 for a general readership interested in the lands and peoples of the world. Its pages mix wood-engraved scenes of people in traditional dress with views of rugged terrain, with figures in dress coats and turbans drawn in dense hatching. A designer could take the crosshatched, tonal line work and the layered, soft-edged shading of the portraits as a model for engraved texture.
