Here's a Hildebrandt drawing that has Aragorn telling his fishing story:
"And the one that got away was thiiiis big!"
Aside from the horribly childlike Hobbits, the one thing that strikes me most is Aragorn's boottops - do tell me how a Ranger is supposed to move silently when his footwear is apt to snag on every twig?!
And is this a depiction of
Tolkien's version of the Holy Grail?
