82.6 x 58.6 cm, 1999

The 2001 Tolkien Calendar, HarperCollinsPublishers

In an ideal world, the Pre-Raphaelites would have imagined romantically decaying Victorian ruins in Milford Sound... :New Zealand landscape is incredibly striking.

The vignette at the bottom symbolises the "bending" of the earth, but of course the Elven ships can sail straight to Beleriand. And there are those swans again...

To put it in a nutshell, there are four conditions for use of any of my imagery on a web site (not including of course photos by other persons; in that case their permission must be requested).

• 1. That the use be strictly non-commercial.
• 2. That the work be properly credited.
• 3. That a clear link to www.john-howe.com be provided.
• 4. Last but not least, that the use of the image be in accordance with the image itself. This is perhaps hard to make clear, but I would refuse, for example, use of one of my pictures to promote ideas, concepts or undertakings with which I disagree, or for which the image's prime purpose is only to attract attention to something entirely different.
