Hi all, must have missed this thread earlier,

Mith, nice links to the Snowdon and Chamberlain pics. In Snowdon's the Prof seems very uncomfortable, as if just in the process of either sitting down or standing up, or perhaps he was sat on a particularly knobbly tree-root, such as Frodo complained about in 'Three Is Company'.

This photo is a sad one for me because I associate it with the TV news clips when Tolkien died. I think these either used the same still photo or were filmed in a similar wood in black and white. That was a while ago now, anyone remember?

The colour photo where Tolkien is looking sraight into the camera just says 'Bilbo at Rivendell' to me - great!

Guinevere - excellent find on the photo of Tolkien as a young man, interesting photo, it brings out some sadness in Tolkien's expression. Does this date from the 1920s? His eyes remind me of other photos of First World War survivors.
