Globus; illustrierte Zeitschrift für Länder- und Völkerkunde
Globus was an illustrated German periodical of geography and ethnography, published at Braunschweig by Vieweg in 1862 for a general readership interested in foreign lands and peoples. Its wood engravings show travellers' scenes: a figure with companions among palms, a shepherd beside a stone tomb under trees, and processions of men with long spears crossing a hazy plain or a forested slope. The pictures are dense and dark, with strong diagonal lines and figures set against landscape, useful for designers studying nineteenth-century reportage layouts and crowded outdoor scenes.
