The covers of the Authorized Edition of The Lord of The Rings, a paperback edition first published in a box set in 1965. Colorful illustrations by Barbara Remington
One side of the box for the box set, depicting wild, dark creatures in the foreground and Mount Doom in the distance, beneath a reddish pink sky.
The other side of the Ballantine Books LOTR box set, depicting a tree in the foreground (perhaps in the elven lands) with large, globule almost glowing fruits. What may be The Shire is in the distance in the backgorund on the left.
I love the color & style o this 1960s Ballantine Books edition of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
The lush surrealist palette is different from the greens, greys, & browns I typically associate w/LOTR. Art by Barbara Remington.
