Globus; illustrierte Zeitschrift für Länder- und Völkerkunde
Globus was an illustrated German periodical of geography and ethnology, published in Braunschweig by Vieweg from 1862 for a general readership interested in lands and peoples. Its pictures are halftone-style photographic plates of a thatched dwelling on a hillside, a bare ground mound under a ridge, a dense colony of penguins on snow, and a valley town below steep peaks, offering a designer documentary views of landscape and settlement with strong tonal contrast and wide horizons.
