Description
The Art of the Lord of the Rings [60th Anniversary Edition] is a sumptuous full-colour art book containing the complete collection of almost 200 sketches, drawings, paintings and maps created by J.R.R. Tolkien for his iconic novel. These visual aids, which include rough sketches made within the manuscript, finished illustrations, and maps, offer a unique insight into Tolkien's creative process and the development of his complex story. Many of these images were not intended for publication, but rather served as tools to help Tolkien conceive and keep his narrative consistent. Others represent moments of creation, illuminating the author's process of writing and design. The book also features inscriptions in runes and Elvish script, as well as 'facsimile' leaves from the burned and blood-stained Book of Mazarbul, which support Tolkien's role as an 'editor' or 'translator' of ancient records. Edited by two leading Tolkien scholars, Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, this book provides an expert introduction and commentary, making it a valuable resource for fans of The Lord of the Rings and those interested in the author's artistic process.
