The Ancient Powder Tower
A tall Gothic gate tower rises above adjoining roofs and small street-level figures. Its steep roof, corner pinnacles and sculpted façade give the building a strongly vertical presence. The source caption identifies it as the ancient Powder Tower, placing this architectural illustration within Crawford’s Prague setting.
