Internationales Archiv für Ethnographie
Internationales Archiv für Ethnographie is an 1888 ethnology and archaeology journal published in Leiden by P.W.M. Trap for the International Society for Ethnography and the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden. Its plates show carved and painted objects from many cultures, numbered and captioned in German. A designer might take from them the dense geometric surface patterns of zigzags, diamonds, scrolls and stripes, plus the painted bands on long wooden paddles and staves.
