Lord of the Rings – Map of Beleriand, 1st Age Middle Earth Reproduction

Description

My fourth installment in my LOTR series of maps, this is a map of Beleriand, from the first age of Middle-earth. A lot of research went into this map, studying Tolkiens different versions of it over the years, paintings of the various important locations, and of course Tolkien’s own descriptions.
As with many of my maps this one, too, has an in-world story. It was commissioned by Elrond as a gift for Glorfindel, and the dedication reads (In Tengwar):

“Glorfindel to Elrond, in memory of much lost, and Morgoth’s downfall. Yet remains Gil-Estel, the Star of High Hope.”

There are quite a few little easter eggs in this map for Tolkien fans to find and enjoy, with several elements of it recreating the professor’s own illustrations as an homage to him.

This 16″x22″ giclée reproduction of my original deer leather map will comfortably fit in any 18″x24″ frame, while still allowing the attractive deckled edge to show.

My giclée prints are available on two types of paper:

Heavyweight Enhanced Matte Paper which will appear textured, but is smooth to the touch. The deckled edges are ripped by hand and make the print feel more aged and unique.

Want something a little more special? You can also get the map printed on Heavier, Fine Art, Watercolor Paper which has a texture and feel similar to the buckskin original for an increased price. This version includes the hand-deckled edges as well as a personal embellishment of natural pigments painted on with a primitive bone paintbrush.
