Virgil Finlay drawing

Notes:
The Annotated Hobbit reprints 'The Hobbit', with many illustrations made by artists from different countries to illustrate various editions of "The Hobbit" in different languages.

One of the illustrations, on page 154, is by Virgil Finlay. The drawing is rather dark and not all details are printed well.

In The Annotated Hobbit and on the web-site of Houghton Mifflin it is stated, incorrectly, that the drawing was first published in The Book of Virgil Finlay (1975). It is however first printed in the portfolio Virgil Finlay 1914 - 1971 (1971).
