Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins
This is a German scholarly periodical, the Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins, issued in Leipzig in 1878 by the German Society for the Exploration of Palestine for archaeologists and scholars of the Near East. Its plates show archaeological finds from Palestine: a stone architectural capital with carved leaf bands, a vaulted underground chamber with cut masonry, an arched stone bridge over a river, and a carved niche in a rock block. For a designer, the measured drawings and hatched stonework offer clean, legible models of ancient architectural ornament and worn masonry texture.
