Ralph Bakshi's The Lord Of The Ringsoriginal Shire Background Production Art

  

This production art is from director Ralph Bakshi's personal collection. This very rare animation production background is. And one of a kind. It was used in the original, uncut version of the 1978 Ralph Bakshi animated film. It was created by Louise Zingarelli and Johnny Vita.

Louise did the linework that appears on the acetate layer. Johnny did the color painting under it. Ralph Bakshi is a director of animated and live-action films. In the 1970s, he established an alternative to mainstream animation through independent and adult-oriented productions.
