Birthday present finally framed and hung. Two posters of #MiddleEarth maps done in schematic London Underground “Tube Map” style.
The schematic Tube Map style was first designed by Harry Beck and promoted until it became the London Underground standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_map
These two designs, following that style, are by Don Wilde: https://donwildeart.com/collections/lord-of-the-rings-subway-maps
adapting Christopher Tolkien's original maps to the Tube Map style. One shows the First Age (as told in the #Silmarillion), the other shows the Third Age (as told in #LordOfTheRings). There are loads of detail to delight #Tolkien fans.
