MIDDLE-EARTH TIMELINE
Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien is a large format collection of Tolkien's own drawings and paintings, many of them made for The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. Christopher Tolkien wrote the foreword and the notes that go with each picture.
Most of the artwork had already appeared in the Tolkien calendars published by George Allen and Unwin in the nineteen seventies. The book was published by Allen and Unwin in 1979, and a revised edition followed from HarperCollins in 1992.
