The Illustrated Dune is the 1978 edition ofDune byFrank Herbert, published byBerkley Books and most known for its drawings and paintings by artistJohn Schoenherr. Schoenherr began creating art for theDune series beginning with the cover art for the first edition of the debut book and by illustrating theAnalog serializations ofDune World (December 1963 - February 1964), the five-partProphet of Dune (January-May, 1965), andChildren of Dune (1976); Schoenherr won aHugo Award for Best Professional Artist for hisDune artwork.[1]
The edition includes 33 black-and-white sketch drawings and eight full color paintings, which were received positively by Herbert though the author did not speak to Schoenherr until after all the artwork was finished.[2] Herbert said, "I can envision no more perfect visual representation of my Dune world than John Schoenherr’s careful and accurate illustrations," and that Schoenherr was the "only man who has ever visited Dune."[1]
