Middle-Earth Tours

Tour 3: The Artists of Middle-Earth

Art from the Movies


This section of the tour includes most of the images from the "old" official movie site, which appears to have vanished for the time being (although Rolozo Tolkien has full-sized copies); images currently available on http://www.lordoftherings.net; and some of the choicest "spy" shots, etc., available on the web.
Because I have so many pictures from the movies, I have grouped them according to the book they illustrate - and included a fourth page just for character studies.

Pictures from The Fellowship of the Ring


Bag End: a spy photo from theonering.net

Pictures from The Two Towers


The Edoras set: a spy photo from theonering.net
