Globus; illustrierte Zeitschrift für Länder- und Völkerkunde
Globus was an illustrated German periodical of geography and ethnography, published in Braunschweig by Vieweg und Sohn in 1862 for a general readership interested in foreign lands and peoples. Its pages show wood-engraved views of the mountains, forests and riverbanks of distant regions, along with scenes of local people at work and gathered in groups. A designer might draw on the dense, hatched line work of these engravings for botanical texture, dramatic landscape framing, and crowded figure groupings.
