|Date = 1979

|Author = J. R. R. Tolkien

|Article = Tolkien's legendarium

|Purpose = The image conveys the extraordinary measures that Tolkien used to create a convincing impression of "a presented collection" (the title of the section that discusses the image). He wanted his books and his legendarium to seem like a real mythology, built up over centuries and transmitted from one scribe to another via many artefacts; the Book of Mazarbul was the one literary artefact that he created in paper and paint as a "text within the fictional world", as discussed in the section.

|Replaceability = All Tolkien's paintings are in copyright, so no free image exists; and in any case, the article discusses this exact image in the named section.

|Minimality = The image is the only example of one of Tolkien's artefacts in the article, and the only non-free image in the article. It is used at poor resolution.

|Commercial = The image is already available at the named source at better resolution, and it has been published over many years now in a wide range of formats, so any impact would be negligible.

|Article = Non-narrative elements in The Lord of the Rings

|Purpose = The facsimile or forged page image places Tolkien in the Antiquarian tradition of found manuscripts and assorted non-narrative elements (like paintings and poems) that can lend realism to fantasy fiction.
