Reisen in Kleinasien und Nordsyrien: ausgeführt im Auftrage der Königlichen Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften
This 1890 German travelogue by archaeologists Carl Humann and Otto Puchstein records surveys of Asia Minor and northern Syria, commissioned by the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences for a scholarly readership. Its engravings show carved capitals, a cliff-face rock monument, a ruined hilltop citadel and walled town, and fragments of architecture, drawn with dense crosshatched lines that suggest stone texture and weathering, useful for designers studying ancient ornament, masonry and landscape.
