Do you remember this iconic scene from Peter Jackson’s The #LordoftheRings? I think it’s visual origins go back to the early 20th century, long before #Tolkien ever thought about hobbits and Black Riders! THREAD 🧵👇 1/12

In the film, the hobbits hide away as they hear a horse approaching. They’ve found the perfect hiding spot, the root of a tree, but it’s touch-and-go! They’re nearly discovered! 2/12 Image
The scene seems to have come from artist #JohnHowe (who worked on the films) and reproduces exactly this specific work, initially created for the 1987 Tolkien Calendar (john-howe.com/portfolio/gall…). But Howe himself points to yet another source -some of you will have spotted it! 3/12 Image
