Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins
This is a periodical of the German Palestine Exploration Society, published in Leipzig from 1878 for scholars of antiquities in Palestine. Its plates show carved stone reliefs in photographic reproduction, Arabic inscriptions drawn in outline, and rocky gorges and cliffs photographed in the landscape. A designer might draw on the dense, rhythmic textures of the relief carvings and the bold angular forms of the calligraphic lettering for patterns and lettering studies.
