This preparatory drawing was submitted to Allen and Unwin and the Tolkien
Estate for their comments prior to painting the finished artwork for
publication in the Tolkien Calendar 1984. The drawing is in good condition
considering this was a working drawing and constantly referred to as
the painting was in progress.
The drawing is signed, dated 1982 and is embossed with the Lakeside
Gallery logo. Surrounding the drawing are notes, quotes and references
to The Silmarilion.
