Description
Title Pages. Braun & Hogenberg, Urbium Praecipuarum Totius Mundi Liber Tertius, from Civitates Orbis Terrarum, 1581 (circa). Black & White.

At bottom, two youthful figures peer through a doorway at a scene showing the construction of the Tower of Babel. Latin text on verso. Published between 1581-1616.
