According to Christopher tolkien's intro， the most comprehensive collections of jrrt's actual illustrations， certainly in my experience （not including the father Christmas letters， of which there is one representative shown）。 Not a whole lot of text explanation of the plates， but enough。 I am very appreciative that this exists。 According to Christopher tolkien's intro， the most comprehensive collections of jrrt's actual illustrations， certainly in my experience （not including the father Christmas letters， of which there is one representative shown）。 Not a whole lot of text explanation of the plates， but enough。 I am very appreciative that this exists。 。。。more

You might not know that J。 R。 R。 Tolkien was also a talented artist with a pencil。 This book contains a few of his drawings with some information on them。 These are all wonderful and some were new to me！ It begins with the drawings featured in The Hobbit and then continues with drawings from the other books。 This was very enjoyable for me！

I was lucky enough to find a used copy of this， and I fully enjoyed the beautiful drawings， doodles， and paintings of JRR Tolkien as he drew places from his world the way he envisioned them。

This book shows that besides being a brilliant writer， he was also a good artists。 The drawings show how well he envisioned Middle-earth and how realistic and real in his mind the landscape was。 it feels as though you could walk right in there， a feeling copied from the actual trilogy。I must say though， that my favourite part were the Heraldic devices。 They are so well done and very artistically to my liking。 This books is， unlike the motion picture books， a perfect artbook to accompany your jou This book shows that besides being a brilliant writer， he was also a good artists。 The drawings show how well he envisioned Middle-earth and how realistic and real in his mind the landscape was。 it feels as though you could walk right in there， a feeling copied from the actual trilogy。I must say though， that my favourite part were the Heraldic devices。 They are so well done and very artistically to my liking。 This books is， unlike the motion picture books， a perfect artbook to accompany your journey through Middle-earth。 Wether it be the Silmarillion， Hobbit or LotR you're reading。 。。。more

This book reunites drawings and illustrations that where first published on the first editions of The Hobbit， The Lord of the Rings， and The Silmarillion。 Any Tolkien fan will appreciate it。

"Immagini" è uno splendido spaccato visivo e intimistico nella vita di Tolkien。 Per una volta possiamo apprezzare l'abilità artistica invece che narrativa del professore。 Consigliato a tutti i collezionisti e ai completisti dell'opera tolkieniana。 "Immagini" è uno splendido spaccato visivo e intimistico nella vita di Tolkien。 Per una volta possiamo apprezzare l'abilità artistica invece che narrativa del professore。 Consigliato a tutti i collezionisti e ai completisti dell'opera tolkieniana。 。。。more

Beautiful illustrations， including several patterns and such drawn by Tolkien himself， that often depict memorable scenes from his works。 An easy read， and the details written by his son， Christopher Tolkien， often provide a bit of insight into the thought behind each。

Tolkien is an artistic genius。 This is a collection of illustrations of the Middle-Earth done by the man who also created it。 I'd love to own a hard copy of this book！Here are some examples: Tolkien is an artistic genius。 This is a collection of illustrations of the Middle-Earth done by the man who also created it。 I'd love to own a hard copy of this book！Here are some examples: 。。。more

This picture book has such beautiful drawnings that make you wishing for more of those drawnings and to have a bigger glimpse of the Tolkien's world。 For the first time I see how looks like the trees of Lothlorien and I wasn't disappointed。 The las part of the floral designs and the heraldic diveces are also amanzing。 Tolkien is realy a multi-talented artist。 This picture book has such beautiful drawnings that make you wishing for more of those drawnings and to have a bigger glimpse of the Tolkien's world。 For the first time I see how looks like the trees of Lothlorien and I wasn't disappointed。 The las part of the floral designs and the heraldic diveces are also amanzing。 Tolkien is realy a multi-talented artist。 。。。more

Lots of fun fantasy drawings and watercolors here by J。R。R。 himself。 He has a highly unique artistic style and seeing his works helps you to imagine how he envisioned many of the interesting places and scenes that make up Middle Earth。

Prachtband voller zauberhafter ZeichnungenEine beeindruckende Veröffentlichung: Sehr großformatig （32 x 32 cm）， dickes Fotopapier， ein stabiler Hardcovereinband mit einem in Gold geprägten Tolkien-Initial， geschützt von einem schön gestalteten Schutzumschlag， lassen dieses Buch auf jedem Kaffeetisch toll wirken。Doch neben dem Angebe-Effekt findet sich für den Tolkien-Freund in diesem Band viele interessante Einblicke in die Welt Mittelerde， wie der Erfinder sie selbst sah: Jede Seite präsentiert Prachtband voller zauberhafter ZeichnungenEine beeindruckende Veröffentlichung: Sehr großformatig （32 x 32 cm）， dickes Fotopapier， ein stabiler Hardcovereinband mit einem in Gold geprägten Tolkien-Initial， geschützt von einem schön gestalteten Schutzumschlag， lassen dieses Buch auf jedem Kaffeetisch toll wirken。Doch neben dem Angebe-Effekt findet sich für den Tolkien-Freund in diesem Band viele interessante Einblicke in die Welt Mittelerde， wie der Erfinder sie selbst sah: Jede Seite präsentiert in tadelloser Reproduktionsqualität eine Zeichnung des Autors， auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite einen kurzen Kommentar dazu。 Hier findet man alles， von einfachen Bleistiftskizzen， über teilkolorierte Zeichnungen bis hin zu voll ausgearbeiteten Aquarellen。 Gerade letztere zeigen， dass Tolkien durchaus neben seinem literarischen Werk auch künstlerische Ambitionen hegte， denn sie sind durchweg sehr ansprechend und in Detailgrad und Ausführung schon fast als professionelle Illustrationen zu bezeichnen。Wer wissen will， wie Tolkien sich Mittelerde vorstellte， kommt an diesem Werk nicht vorbei。 。。。more

Lovely reproductions of a variety of Tolkien's illustrations。 Primarily I wanted to see color versions of his heraldry symbols which my husband and I are having tattooed （nerd alert） for our 10th wedding anniversary。 I might want to buy this one。 Lovely reproductions of a variety of Tolkien's illustrations。 Primarily I wanted to see color versions of his heraldry symbols which my husband and I are having tattooed （nerd alert） for our 10th wedding anniversary。 I might want to buy this one。 。。。more

Wonderful collection of artwork by Tolkien himself。 It's stunning to see the vision he put on this paper， the imagery as he saw it and the intricate details in heraldery， patterns and writings。 Great insight in the author's visual ideas。 Wonderful collection of artwork by Tolkien himself。 It's stunning to see the vision he put on this paper， the imagery as he saw it and the intricate details in heraldery， patterns and writings。 Great insight in the author's visual ideas。 。。。more

Le tavole presenti sono in tutto 48， ma， seppur ben lungi da essere uno story-board delle opere di Tolkien， rendono molto bene il mondo fantastico della Terra di Mezzo。Quello che ho è del 1989， anche se qui viene per ora riportato quello del 1997。La recensione completa è su http://www。jhack。it/blog/2007/11/15/i。。。 Le tavole presenti sono in tutto 48， ma， seppur ben lungi da essere uno story-board delle opere di Tolkien， rendono molto bene il mondo fantastico della Terra di Mezzo。Quello che ho è del 1989， anche se qui viene per ora riportato quello del 1997。La recensione completa è su http://www。jhack。it/blog/2007/11/15/i。。。 。。。more
