A nice copy of a collectable book.
De hobbit. Translated by Max Schuchart. Utrecht/Antwerpen: Het Spectrum, 1983. 'Prisma' no. 529. These printings have the new translations and the two maps, but have no other illustrations. The contents page places the translator's note on page 236.

The cover was designed by Studio Spectrum with a Tolkien-logo (the name Tolkien printed with a big T) in silver at the top. This logo is repeated small as a carpet pattern in black over the brown ground of the whole cover.

Below the large logo on the upper cover is the title in red, and below this is a round medallion, containing a detail of Tolkien's Bilbo Comes to the Huts of the Raft-elves.

On the lower cover, below the logo in silver and a blurb in white, is a BBC photograph of Tolkien lighting his pipe.

Pronounced cover creasing and edge rubbing, with wear along the spine and age-toning to the paper.

A 1983 twentieth Dutch printing of De Hobbit with Studio Spectrum's Tolkien-logo design and Tolkien's Raft-elves cover artwork.
