Shelob’s Lair (pencil, black ink, red pencil)~J.R.R Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator
The text reads:
Look! The road opened out now: it still went on up, but no longer sheerly. Beyond and ahead there was an ominous glare in the sky, and like a great notch in the mountainshelo wall a cleft was outlined against it. On their right the wall of rock fell away and the road widened till it had no brink. Looking down Frodo saw nothing but the vast darkness of the great ravine which was the head of Morghul dale. Down in it’s depths was the faint glimmer of the wraith-road that that led over the Morghul pass from the city. On their left sharp jagged pinnacles stood up like towers carved by the biting years, and between them were many dark crevices and clefts. But high on the left side of the cleft to which their road lead (Kirith Ungol) was a small black tower, and in it a window showed a red light.
