About this Item

Exclusive Photographic Print: J.R.R. Tolkien sits at his writing desk, clutching a pen Stunning Black and White Portrait by Renowned Photographer Pamela Chandler, 1966 In a rare 1961 session, commissioned by Allen & Unwin, Pamela Chandler was tasked with capturing the elusive J. R. R. Tolkien on film. Her work resonated so deeply with Tolkien that she became his preferred photographer. As their bond grew, Tolkien invited her in 1966 for a personal session, capturing intimate moments in his garden with his wife Edith and inside his study. Among these prized photos is one showcasing his hand-drawn map of Middle Earth and his weekly diary. This specific print captures J.R.R. Tolkien at his writing desk, holding a pen. A testament to its authenticity, the print bears the copyright details on its reverse. The photo measures 19 x 24 cm with an additional white border surrounding it, and is printed on the superior Professional Photo Paper. An exquisite, original capture of the legendary J.R.R. Tolkien.
