I love this fabulous cover art on the American Ballantine paperback releases of Lord of the Rings.
The slipcase too, what a beauty!

I think it's the same artist on my Ballantine Worm Ouroboros, but yet to look the artist up.
Have you these or anything similar?
I loved the seventies illustrations for LOTR, especially the maps. Charles Keeping did a series of illustrations for Alan Garners fantasy books, such as Elidor and the Weirdstone of Brisingamen. A lovely line and wash style which suggested lino and woodcuts, slightly abstract and dreamlike. Bill
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look up Charles Keeping Bill. Sounds good.
