A sumptuous full colour art book containing the complete collection
of more than 100 sketches, drawings, paintings and maps created by
J.R.R. Tolkien for The Hobbit. When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The
Hobbit, he was already an accomplished amateur artist, and drew
illustrations for his book while it was still in manuscript. The
Hobbit as first printed had ten black and white pictures, two maps,
and binding and dust-jacket designs by its author. Later, Tolkien
also painted five scenes for colour plates which are some of his
best work. His illustrations for The Hobbit add an extra dimension
to that remarkable book, and have long influenced how readers
imagine Bilbo Baggins and his world. The Art of The Hobbit by
J.R.R. Tolkien is the complete collection of the artwork created by
the author for his story. Including related pictures, more than one
hundred sketches, drawings, paintings, maps, and plans are
presented here, preliminary and alternate versions and experimental
designs as well as finished art. Using fresh digital scans from the
Bodleian Libraries in Oxford and Marquette University in Wisconsin,
Tolkien’s Hobbit pictures can be seen more vividly than ever
before. Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, two of the world’s
leading Tolkien scholars, have edited the book and provide an
expert introduction and comments. Readers who have enjoyed The Art
of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien will find much of
interest also in The Art of The Hobbit.
