Some more selections (I hope the links work.)

You'll have to click on the individual pictures here

It is amazing how Tolkien excelled in so many different styles of artwork. These illustrations have always been favorites of mine, with their decorative style and bright colors.

I also get a kick out of the story about the north pole breaking, with Tolkien so careful to show the spot where it was mended in his subsequent letters.
