The Haven of Morionde by Roger Garland

This image from near the end of "Tolkien's World--Paintings of Middle-earth" (1992) always captures my imagination. I've not read The Lost Road. So, all I have is this illustration and a little bit of text included on the facing page.

He stood upon the rock and said: "This is done as a sign of power. For I am Sauron the mighty, servant of the Strong...I have come..."

--The Lost Road
