It's lovely. I have an illustrated version by Ted Nasmith. I just love his work.

What I love about it is that you get a chance to see Numenor!

Ted Nadsmith is my favorite tolkien artist, his work is always top notch and very detailed. Not to mention the flush and vibrant colors used in his landscapes.

Ultra-cool! I saw this on another site, but it was a smaller pic (at least on my screen) - so I didn't get near that level of detail. Marvelous! Great concept of Andunie on Numenor!

Its cool though to see how different artist depict Tolkien's heroes, villians and monsters. I also find it very interesting how those artist develop the different landscpaes, cities, and fortresses out of imagination. |

Well for some reason I just made a post and it isn't showing up.. I forgot to mention that the artist who portray Tolkien's world have a great advantage thanks to Tolkien. As an artist myself, the description and detail given to the characters and land regions in all of Tolkien's works comes in handy.

The first edition cover featured Numenor too. But nowhere near the majesty that this cover pictures it.
