Summary[edit | edit source]
This drawing is by J.R.R. Tolkien and is dated September 1928. The name Cristhorn, seen in the pencilled title, means 'The Eagles' Cleft'; it was afterwards changed to Cirith Thoronath, of the same meaning. Here Glorfindel fought with the Balrog who ambushed those who fled from the sack of the city (The Silmarillion Chapter 23, "Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin").
The drawing was later colored by H.E. Riddett.
