A reproduction of a drawing made with black ink in July 1928 of the monster mere in Beowulf, depicting a pool of turbulent water surrounded by blasted trees and mountains. Reproduced without caption on the back inside flap of the dust jacket of Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary, together with Sellic Spell, by J. R. R. Tolkien, edited by Christopher Tolkien. A note at the end of C. Tolkien's preface (xiv) explains the origin of this and the other images used for this book, whose contents are described more fully in the record for J. R. R. Tolkien, Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary, together with Sellic Spell.
