Index of Tolkien art by ftp
d...@acpub.duke.edu
These jpg files of scenes from Tolkien's works can all be
found at ftp.funet.fi (login as "pictures") in the directory pub/
pics/fantasy/Tolkien. Alternately, some of them can be found at
ftp.sunet.se (login as standard "anonymous") in pub/pictures/fantasy/
Tolkien. Sunet is generally 2 to 5 times faster than funet, but does
not include all of these pictures; on sunet the files do not have
the prefix "tolk-".
My ratings go from 1 to 6; 1 is a failure as a work of art
(bad painting, disproportionate, etc), 3 is generally pretty good,
6 makes me want to stare at it for hours.
I tried to give an accurate description for each, but some
escaped me (e.g. some of the Lee paintings). If you download such
a file and know what it is, please email me and let me know.
