Great acquisitions, and I agree with onthetrail, that endpaper map/topographical view is awesome.

Thank you Urulókë and onthetrail, yes that painting is stunning and is a call for adventures !

The art of Denis Gordeev as a whole is very interesting and brings a fresh take about illustrating middle-earth, with its own touch and sensiblity. We can see he's slav and we can feel it in his renditions : always interesting to see how some people can view and interpret middle-earth with their own culture, researchs, style.
For example, two takes at depicting Morgoth, the first in the Silmarillion, the second in Children of Hurin. Fascinating.

These depictions by Denis Gordeev have been perhaps my favorite depictions of Morgoth, closest to what I see in my head as Tolkien describes him in the latter Silmarillion. Congrats Emilien.

Very cool illustrations indeed!
