[Fantasy] FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION. Complete in three volumes. Illustrated throughout in black and white by Eric Fraser from designs by Ingahild Grathmer. Publisher's quarter pale grey leather, grey cloth boards blocked in gilt to a special design by Jeff Clements, top edge grey. Maps of Middle-earth and The Shire as endpapers, printed in blue and white. In the publisher's grey slipcase trimmed in black. Contents clean, no inscriptions. A little soiling to covers, leather a little rubbed, likewise to slipcase. Very good. The first illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings. The illustrations were originally produced for the Danish translation by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark (using the name Ingahild Grathmer). The Shire map covers a larger area than that provided with the first editions; taking place names and geography directly from the text. Jeff Clements MBE was elected as a Fellow of The Guild of Contemporary Bookbinders in 1957 and was President of Designer Bookbinders from 1981-83. Hammond and Anderson [A5L].
