It's the same picture before Ted Turner colorized it. It solves the problem of the yellow boots (the yellow boots reference threw me -- for a second I thought perhaps Bombadil had been persuaded to visit the Shire) but it doesn't solve the problem of the door knob. Perhaps in devoting so much time to languages, the Professor forgot objects in the foreground are supposed to appear bigger. It's Bilbo who's out of scale, not the door. But, regardless, I think the picture shows that Bagginses had a very spacious and Wizard-sized dwelling.
