A Map of Middle-earth (name on map), also known as the Pauline Baynes Map, is a poster-map of Northwestern Middle-earth published in 1970 by George Allen & Unwin.[1]
Description
Based on the map of Middle-earth first published in 1954, the poster-map (created in 1969) was a collaboration between Pauline Baynes and J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien corrected a few errors on the original map,[source?] and supplied some additional place names and notes on nomenclature.[2][1][3]
"New" locations include: Dorwinion, Eryn Vorn, Edhellond, Andrast, Drúwaith Iaur, Undeeps, the towns Framsburg, Edhellond, Lond Daer and the rivers Glanduin and Swanfleet (labelled as a river). Other additions include wooded areas in Eryn Vorn, Enedhwaith and around the river Isen, not indicated as such in earlier maps.
The name of the Grey Havens is labelled, but unlike in the earlier maps, their location is not indicated with an icon. Sarn Ford is labelled simply as "Ford".
Publication history
Ballantine Books reproduced the map on the box of a set of a three-volume edition of The Lord of the Rings (first printing 1970).[4]
At least 12 impressions of the trade edition poster-map (ISBN 0049120026) were issued:
- 1st impression 1970
- 6th impression 1974
- 7th impression 1974
- 8th impression 1975
- 12th impression 1986 (Unwin Books; printed by Henry Stone & Son (Printers), Banbury)[5]
After the 7th impression, but not later than the 12th impression, a green border 17 mm high was inserted between the top and bottom edges of the map and the illustrated borders.[2]
