Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins
A scholarly periodical of the Deutscher Verein zur Erforschung Palästinas, issued in Leipzig by O. Harrassowitz in 1878 for readers interested in the antiquities of Palestine. Its pictures are repeated engraved headpieces: a domed building with radiating sunburst rays above a central oval cartouche showing a vaulted gateway, framed by interlaced knotwork, scrollwork and arched panels in black linework on pale paper. A designer might take the symmetrical tripartite layout and the interlace borders as a model for period title pages.
