Globus; illustrierte Zeitschrift für Länder- und Völkerkunde
Globus, an illustrated German periodical of geography and ethnography published in Braunschweig by F. Vieweg und Sohn from 1862, aimed at general readers interested in lands and peoples. The pictures are black-and-white engravings of ships on water, plan and section drawings of a round-vaulted tomb chamber with columns, and stone temple ruins among dense jungle foliage, all rendered in a dense, fine-line engraved style. A designer could draw on the hatched linework and the contrast between architectural diagrams and wild vegetation for vintage expedition or archaeology themes.
