Offered here is an original Dark Sun production-era pen-and-ink chapter illustration tied to The Ivory Triangle and slave tribes for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition. This is the small black-and-white spot illustration used with the chapter heading shown in the book, and it appears to be original paste-up / production art rather than a later copy or reprint.

Appears in 2 books!

The image shows the bound hands emblem used in the published layout, with visible signs of the production process including hand-applied white correction/touch-up, editorial markings, and a red notation that appears to read “50% Thanks Lee”. Those kinds of markings are exactly the kind of thing collectors want to see on authentic TSR production material, because they show this piece was part of the real publishing workflow.

This piece came from the Dee Barnett estate. Dee Barnett worked in TSR graphic design and production, and estate provenance adds real interest for collectors of Dark Sun, AD&D, TSR, and vintage fantasy publishing memorabilia.

This is a great piece for the serious collector because it is not just related to Dark Sun — it is a true behind-the-scenes publishing artifact from one of TSR’s most visually distinctive settings.
