This is a listing of all works in the Tolkien Art Index reproduced in The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien, presented in the same order as the book. 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 The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien.
