Where it came from
The Black Arrow card, numbered 171, is a component of the collectible trading card series based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. These sets were produced to coincide with the cinematic adaptations of the Middle-earth legendarium, intended to offer enthusiasts tangible representations of the iconic weaponry and artifacts described in the source material. The series focuses on capturing the high-fantasy aesthetic established by the film production design teams, prioritizing visual fidelity to the onscreen props.
The design of this card reflects the central role of Bard the Bowman's heirloom weapon within the narrative. The illustration focuses on the arrow's distinct construction and its significance as a tool of destiny in the confrontation with Smaug the dragon. These cards were generally well-received by fans of the franchise as supplemental memorabilia that bridged the gap between the original literary descriptions and the detailed, intricate work of the Weta Workshop design group.
