Used as a set of three posters to promote the 1965 official release of the First Ballantine paperbacks of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. This was in response to the illegal Ace papebacks. This is just the map poster. The other two posters, (per the photo and not included), were the Banner and Come to Middle-earth. 3 ft high x 2 ft feet wide. Colours true, no wear to the edges, but has very slight crinkles down the centre top from being bent over when rolled. However, per the photo, not noticeable. 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.
