The image showcases the grandeur and scale of the Palace of Westminster's Clock Tower, which would later be famously known as Big Ben. The engraving captures a moment in time when scaffolding envelops the tower, revealing its present state during restoration work. This adds an intriguing layer to this historical piece, as it allows us to witness both its beauty and vulnerability simultaneously.
