This is a black and white illustration depicting 'The Babylonian Universe'. It shows a layered, circular structure representing the cosmos. At the center is a stepped pyramid-like structure, possibly representing a ziggurat or the earthly realm. Surrounding this central structure are numerous concentric, circular layers, resembling rings or orbits. These layers appear to represent different levels of the heavens or the cosmos. The entire structure is contained within a large, dome-shaped form, suggesting a belief in a dome-like sky or universe. The dome is textured with a grainy pattern, giving it a solid, earthly appearance. Above the structure, at the very top of the dome, is the label 'ZENITH'. The background is a pale, off-white color. Below the illustration, the title 'THE BABYLONIAN UNIVERSE' is written in bold letters.
