Zeitschrift des Deutschen Palästina-Vereins
This is a periodical of the Deutscher Verein zur Erforschung Palästinas, published in Leipzig in 1878 by O. Harrassowitz for scholars of Palestinian antiquities. Its pictures are grainy photographic plates of carved inscriptions on stone blocks, with incised Arabic-style script in boxed panels and rough, pitted surfaces; a designer might take from them the texture of weathered masonry and the rhythm of inscribed lettering in framed registers.
