A swath of JRR Tolkien's original illustrations for The Hobbit are to be
published for the first time this week as part of celebrations to mark the
75th anniversary of the book's publication...
The publisher discovered Tolkien had actually created more than 100
illustrations, which lay buried in his archive at the Bodleian Library in
Oxford and were only recently digitised.
"That was a surprise. I thought there might be 40-50 in total," said publisher
David Brawn. "But there are 110 Hobbit pictures, about two dozen of which
haven't been published before."

Oh golly, must have.
