Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien

With Christopher Tolkien as your guide, take a tour of this colorful gallery of charming art created by J.R.R. Tolkien and presented in a new elegant edition in a case.
This collection of drawings with text by Christopher Tolkien, reissued nearly 30 years later, affirms J.R.R. Tolkien's considerable talent as an artist. It provides insight into his visual conception of many places and events familiar to readers of "The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings", and "The Silmarillion".
Examples of his work range from delicate watercolors depicting Rivendell, the woods of Lothlórien, Smaug, and Old Man Willow, to drawings and sketches of the gates of Moria and Minas Tirith. Together, they form an extensive collection of Tolkien's illustrations for his most popular books.
This charming gallery was personally selected by Christopher Tolkien, who, through detailed notes on the sources for each painting, provides a unique insight into his father's artistic vision.
