The Confusion of Tongues

A black-and-white engraving shows a tall spiraling tower rising into dramatic clouds, while a bearded man raises one arm atop a stone block and a crowd of robed figures gathers around him. Workers with heavy blocks fill the lower foreground, and the crosshatched lines give the scene a dense, dark texture.
