Yeah, he does seem to have had a hand in quite a bit, but that burning of cash...I know I could have found a better use for it. Perhaps for a bid on a tasty bit of ephemera, such a keyrings or tankards should they show up. Or better yet a signed first edition!

Didn't know or don't remember the existance a Cauty poster for The Hobbit, I should like to see it! His work struck me as a welcome contrast to the Bros. Hildebrandt style, who dominated the Tolkien inspired art scene back then. I will say that Aragorn on the LoTR poster does look a bit more like a rocker than I imagined, but the handling of the Elendilmir on his brow was quite satisfactorily done to my young taste.

And The Might is in luck, as The Atlas of Middle-earth is still in print, and a used copy can be had for at little as $4.80 USD (plus shipping) from Amazon. Let not your heart be troubled, dear Downer!

The Ultimate Collection?
