Help me find Tolkien artwork?
February 1, 2008 10:43 AM Subscribe
I really like Tolkien's artwork, and as a child my parents read me his Letters from Father Christmas. Can you help me find a print from that book?
Though J.R.R. Tolkien is most remembered for his books, he was also a noteworthy artist and illustrator. I find his illustrations truly compelling, and though I'm entranced by the LOTR cycle, the nouveau Tolkien-inspired art leaves me cold.
I would really like to get a print of one of his illustrations from his Letters from Father Christmas, a series of annual letters he wrote for his children for many years. I'd like one of the landscapes but am not picky- nearly any of them would do.
The thing is, no amount of googling can reveal a print for sale! I know, another option would be to cut one out of a book, but I'd rather have a nice print that was intended to be a print.
Any ideas, guys? Is your google-fu superior to mine?
(BTW, this is stewiethegreat's girlfriend- I know I should get my own account but that's a different story)
