Is Blackwelder's original book a similar, unpublished book too?<br /><br />I happen to collect electronical photos of Tolkien and related ones, and have currently around 1700 such photos in my collection, of which half are of places and the other half are of people (and that includes very few photos of C.S. Lewis yet).Ardamirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535734219325255452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239062544101975016.post-55612604626462536362010-04-27T12:53:10.219-07:002010-04-27T12:53:10.219-07:00I've seen the copy of Dr. Blackwelder's &q...I've seen the copy of Dr. Blackwelder's "Portraiture" in the Marquette archives. One of his many dazzling accomplishments.<br /><br />It may be time to start collecting misspellings of Tolkien's name. "Tolkein", of course, and the infamous "Tonkien" from the 1901 census; "Renel" for "Reuel" that the Library of Congress had for a while. "J.R.T. Tolkien" is one I don't think I've seen before; Chad Walsh had "F.R.R."; "J.J.R." has been seen somewhere, as has just "J.R." without the second "R."David Bratmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090662884600828582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239062544101975016.post-79778248993002965812010-04-27T12:38:34.307-07:002010-04-27T12:38:34.307-07:00A book with all of the Tolkien photographs would b...A book with all of the Tolkien photographs would be welcome. Perhaps it could include photographs of residences and neighborhoods known to Tolkien, including, where possible, images from his time; so we'd get something like a cross between the Poe book you mention and the Gilbert/Kilby book of about 40 years ago, C. S. Lewis: Images of His World. (There's something like the Gilbert/Kilby book, by the way, but on George MacDonald.) A book of this sort on Arthur Machen would be interesting.Extollagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580955213307049077noreply@blogger.com
