Tolkien’ – the copy of the original printed map, annotated extensively by Tolkien, on which this version was based was sold by Blackwell’s in 2015 and is now in the Bodleian Library; it shows the extent of his input, as well as the artist’s skill in rendering his instructions in visual form. A hugely popular piece of ‘Lord of the Rings’ ephemera, here in better state than often met with. (Hammond & Anderson Eii4).
