This is a listing of all works in the Tolkien Art Index reproduced in Pictures, presented in the same order. Insofar as TAI at this time indexes only artwork that is not demonstrably un-related to Middle-earth (see Purpose & Scope), this may not represent a complete listing of Tolkien’s art in Pictures. Note that, as a side effect of presenting items in the order in which they’re reproduced in a book, items represented more than once within the book will be duplicated in this listing.

TAI #226 | sketch (III) for The Hill: Hobbiton across the Water I’ve not seen the first impression of the first edition of Pictures; Christopher Tolkien’s description of “an unpublished sketch of Hobbiton … in which … there are no words … on the signpost” can, however, refer only to this piece — unless there is a further otherwise-unpublished sketch. I’d love to hear from anyone who has the first impression! | ||||||

For example, faint pencil just inside the lower of the two arch lines (above the seven stars) has been erased, as has a similar pencil line just above the text below the drawing; also, that text has been dropped slightly to allow more room between it and the drawing. | ||||||
