To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the publication of The Lord of
the Rings, a sumptuous full-colour art book containing the complete
collection of almost 200 sketches, drawings, paintings and maps by
J.R.R. Tolkien. As he wrote The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien's
mental pictures often found expression in drawing, from rough
sketches made within the manuscript to more finished illustrations.
Only a few of these were meant for publication; most were aids to
help Tolkien conceive his complex story and keep it consistent.
Many do not illustrate the final text, but represent moments of
creation, illuminating Tolkien's process of writing and design. In
addition to pictorial sketches, numerous maps follow the
development of the Shire and the larger landscape of Middle-earth,
while inscriptions in runes and Elvish script, and 'facsimile'
leaves from the burned and blood-stained Book of Mazarbul, support
Tolkien's pose as an 'editor' or 'translator' of ancient records.
The Art of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien collects these
drawings, inscriptions, maps, and plans in one deluxe volume. More
than 180 images are included, all of them printed in colour from
high-quality scans and photographs, more than half not previously
published. Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, two of the world's
leading Tolkien scholars, have edited the book and provide an
expert introduction and comments. Readers who have enjoyed The Art
of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, with which the new book is
uniform, will find much of interest also in The Art of The Lord of
the Rings.
