Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins
Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins is a scholarly periodical issued in Leipzig in 1878 by the German society for exploring Palestine, aimed at archaeologists and historians of the region. Its plates are measured technical drawings: a site plan with lettered chambers, a bent metal implement with dimension labels, an inscribed round medallion with Arabic script, and a flat wooden or metal tool with numbered parts. A designer might borrow the precise labelled-diagram style, the clean line hatching, and the bold Arabic calligraphy set in a circle.
