    John Howe and Alan Lee did a lot of the older illustrations of LOTR. Some great stuff. Howe tends to colorful fantasy imagery like the above. Lee tends to fine pencil drawings and watercolors. Lee has a great watercolor of gollum skulking behind Sam and Frodo, and he’s almost indistinguishable from the landscape apart from his awful eyes.

      Thank you for reminding me that I need to read my set of The Hobbit + LotR books with Alan Lee’s illustrations 😁
