1994 Suomen Tolkien-seuran (Finnish Tolkien Society)

Review: The illustrations are well-conceived with great dramatic effect and brilliantly executed. For example, consider the April illustration of Gandalf and the Balrog by Mr. Hiltunen. This scene has been attempted by many illustrators. Yet few have captured the intensity of battle as well. Or view the December illustration by Mr. Juhola. Simple in concept but with subtle details. (Consider the tracks left by the ring.) Perhaps it is the contrast afforded by pen-and-ink drawings that brings these to life.

Dimensions: 11 3/4 x 8 1/4 (w x h); stapled on the fold.
