Zeitschrift des Historischen Vereins für Niedersachsen
A periodical of the Historischer Verein für Niedersachsen, published in Hannover in 1850 for readers interested in the history of Lower Saxony. Its plates show archaeological finds and historical objects drawn in fine line: a group of pale stones arranged in an oval pattern over radiating hatching, a hillside landscape with conifers and rock outcrops, and a page of seals and coins with heraldic shields, legends and figures. A designer might take the radial line work of the medal and seal plates as a model for ornamental borders and emblem layouts.
