Just seen on another forum that Pauline Baynes has recently died http://www.lotrplaza.com/forum/forum...asp?TID=228268.

Pauline's illustrations of Tolkien's Farmer Giles of Ham, AoTB & particularly Smith of Wooton Major (as well as that famous LotR cover & poster maps & Bilbo's Last Song) have always seemed to me particularly beautiful & evocative of Tolkien's world.

Very sad.
