reptilmastaren:Did you know that Moomin creator Tove Jansson illustrated J.R.R Tolkiens The Hobbit for the 1962 swedish edition? These are just a few of the illustrations in the book.[ID: 10 of Jansson’s Hobbit illustrations. The first is the cover, which is in colour and shows a small smiling figure with axe and shield, and the rest are shaded line drawings in black ink. 2: A small drawing of the Company, all wearing long cloaks and hats. 3: Six dwarves playing instruments. 4: Three horses and some dark figures crossing a bridge at night, over calm water with two boats with lanterns resting at the bank. 5. A crowd of large-eyed, lion-faced people coming down a cave tunnel, holding swords. 6. A large staring being with a crown of plants standing waist-deep in an underground pool, surrounded by stalactites. Bilbo, a small humanoid in a tunic and floppy pointed cap, is pointing a cutlass at it. 7. Bilbo, pointing a similar sword at a massive smiling furred spider. 8. Two horned beings tossing barrels into water rushing down through a vaulted stone space. 9. Smaug, a fearsome four-legged dragon, menacing a town as tiny figures panic and rush for boats. 10. A small figure atop a crag with arms raised, watching several armies collide on the plain before them as clouds and bat-winged creatures gather ahead. end ID] -- source link
