Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins

Deutscher Verein zur Erforschung Palästinas · 1878 · Leipzig, O. Harrassowitz [etc.] · 38 pictures

This 1878 periodical from the Deutscher Verein zur Erforschung Palästinas, published in Leipzig by O. Harrassowitz, reported archaeological surveys of Palestine for a German scholarly readership. Its pictures are measured technical drawings in engraved line: a cross-section of a rock-cut cistern or chamber with labelled letters, a plan with metric dimensions beside a classical cornice capital, a stratified masonry wall elevation, and profile sections of moulded stone with dimension arrows, offering a designer restrained clean diagrammatic linework and hatching for architectural or archaeological layouts.
