Ballantine Art by Pauline Baynes, Map of Middle-earth, also used on slipcase covers. 1970 first trade edition, (first available for sale). Very little wear to the edges, couple pin holes to corners has a six inch closed tear to lower left, but has been secured with acide free tape and hardly visiable. Colours true and bright, which is now rare. We recommend dry mounting and framing it which will hide it even better. The inks were not colour fast and will fade if not mounted behind UV glass/plastic. We suggest true-view plastic.
