Zeitschrift für Ethnologie
This is a periodical of ethnology issued in 1869 by Berlin and German anthropological and ethnological societies, published in Braunschweig for scholars of human cultures. Its plates show artwork of a sketched sleeping head in profile, a reclining figure beside a bed or boat, a sculpted Egyptian-style face, and profile heads of ancient Egyptian rulers with headdresses. A designer might take from them the crisp contour-line profile and the soft stippled shading of 19th-century scholarly lithographs.
