Link to the New York Times obit for Barbara Remington, cover illustrator of the 1965 editions of LotR and The Hobbit. I originally read it on my phone - Google throws random news items at me, this one was worth pausing for - and wanted to do a post but wasn't able to copy the link. Nice to find it again today on Middle-earth News. She must have been so interesting to talk with. Strong, independent, talented... I looked at her photograph and thought lord, woman, you have really lived life!

Those are such beautiful book covers! :) I've seen pictures of those covers floating around before, and it's so interesting to know about the artist behind the work.

This. *clinks teacup*
I weren't familiar with her Tolkien artwork as when I started to be interested in the English editions, there were other covers around, and I haven't seen them often yet.
