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 readers interested in foreign lands and peoples. Its pictures are halftone-like black and white views of landscapes, with steep wooded gorges, a volcanic crater with scrubby slopes, a riverbed with tall trees and a standing figure, and eroded rock with pitted surfaces. A designer might draw on their tonal depth and dense foliage for natural landscape backgrounds or textured terrain.
