This is a 1969 poster of J.R.R Tolkien's "Gandalf" by D. de S. Pernes from the fantasy world of Middle Earth. The artist Count Dominic Charles Peter Bon de Sousa Pernes (signed his art as D. de S. Pernes) designed five Lord of the Rings posters, but only ended up drawing three of them. This is one of those, "Gandalf" the Grey, later known as Gandalf the White, was an Istar (Wizard), dispatched to Middle-earth in the Third Age to combat the threat of Sauron. He joined Thorin and his company to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from Smaug, helped form the Fellowship of the Ring to destroy the One Ring, and led the Free Peoples in the final campaign of the War of the Ring.
They were originally sold in the legendary London shop Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed and at that time they were being sold for just ten shillings.
Dimensions: 28.5 in x 22.4 in (72 cm x 57 cm)
Condition: some paper loss to some of the corners bottom left, crinkling and repairs to tears and some marks left by tape see photos.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
