TOLKIEN TREASURES. Above, the final design of The Hobbit dust jacket is part of ‘Tolkien: Maker of Middle-Earth.’ Tolkien not only illustrated The Hobbit, but designed the dust jacket and the binding. His notes can be seen around the outside of the image. Below: A portrait of J.R.R. Tolkien taken Aug. 9, 1973, was the last photograph
taken of Tolkien in the Botanic Garden, Oxford, next to his favorite tree, the Pinus Nigra. He died less than a month later. Bilbo Comes to the Huts of the Raft-elves, a watercolor that Tolkien painted as an illustration for the first edition of The Hobbit, published in 1937, is another exhibit highlight: Bilbo is seen sitting on a barrel floating down the forest river, having helped the dwarves (who are hidden inside the wine barrels) to escape from the dungeons of the Elvenking. This was Tolkien’s favorite watercolor. The owl Tolkien drew to ease his son’s fears is also on display. And the general map of Middle-earth on exhibit was included in the first two volumes of The Lord of the Rings. The map reveals that Oxford is on the same latitude as Hobbiton. The recently discovered map was acquired by the Bodleian Libraries in 2016. And The Hobbit portion of the Oxford exhibit takes visitors inside the beloved novel.
