A dust jacket design for The Two Towers. On the left we have Isengard with it's spiral stair. On the right we should have Minas Morgul*, but it is actually closer to the description of Cirith Ungol.
*The second part is called THE TWO TOWERS, since the events recounted in it are dominated by ORTHANC, the citadel of Saruman, and the fortress of MINAS MORGUL, that guards the secret entrance to Mordor; ... Footnote to 'The Fellowship of the Ring', Allen & Unwin, 1966, p423)
