R. R. Tolkien, written as a pendant to his fantasy The Lord of the Rings. It was first published in a Dutch translation in 1973, subsequently appearing in English on posters in 1974 and as a picture-book in 1990. It was illustrated by Pauline Baynes, and set to music by Donald Swann and Stephen Oliver. The poem's copyright was owned by Tolkien's secretary, to whom he gave it in gratitude for her work for him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePauline Baynes was the only artist approved by Tolkien to illustrate this works during his lifetime. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen framed these colourful and detailed posters can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206261121411,"sku":"LTSCJ","price":400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.5441734280_luiq.jpg?v=1768969546","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1979-pauline-baynes-bilbos-last-song-79347","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
