A Princess illustrates The Lord of the Rings: Ingahild Grathmer, Eric Fraser and the Folio Society — Oxonmoot 2022

In 2022, I presented this paper at the Tolkien’s Society convention Oxonmoot. It was meant as a follow-up to the 2019 talk I gave at Tolkien2019 in Birmingham, which was published in 2025 thanks to the long-term efforts of Will Sherwood and is available here. My 2022 paper was neither published nor recorded, but it is a significant improvement from the 2019 talk which included a lot more questions than answers, and so I decided to publish my research here.

Tolkien2019, a long-expected report – Day Two

Day Two started at 9.00 with a missed opportunity: one of the talks I was most excited about (“Clothing in Tolkien’s world and what we can see through its historical analysis” by Ester Torredelforth) was scheduled in one of the smaller rooms and when I arrived it was already full to the brim. I took my frustration upstairs to the Dealers’ Room where I found a pristine copy of one of the last books I needed to buy for my thesis: Tales from the Perilous Realm illustrated by Alan Lee, a beautiful HarperCollins volume with pencil drawings throughout, some of them full-page.
