Globus; illustrierte Zeitschrift für Länder- und Völkerkunde

1862 · Braunschweig, [etc.] F. Vieweg und Sohn [etc.] · 36 pictures

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 wood engravings show travel scenes: a mud-walled ruin on a dry plain, a village of low huts on a rocky shore, a wrecked ship on snow, and jagged coastal cliffs. A designer might take from them the stark tonal contrast of hatched line work and the expedition-report feel of nineteenth-century travel illustration.
