Zeitschrift des Historischen Vereins für Niedersachsen
A nineteenth-century German periodical from the Historical Society for Lower Saxony, published in Hannover in 1850 for readers of regional history. Its plates are plain line drawings of earthwork profiles and a hand-ruled map with lettered points and small measurement notes. A designer could take from them the crisp hatched contour lines and the spare labelled-diagram style used for technical survey sketches.
