ABSTRACT
In 1998, Ted Nasmith published his first illustrated Silmarillion, which became very popular among Tolkien fans, so much so that a new, augmented edition was published in 2004 with additional illustrations. What is less known is that the year before, The Folio Society had released another Silmarillion, illustrated by Francis Mosley. These two “Silmarillions” offer very different interpretations of the same text, partly because of the artists themselves, but also because of the space devoted to the pictures.
This talk focuses on the 29 illustrations for the Folio Society 1997 Silmarillion. It is based on an exclusive written interview with the artist who agreed to answer questions regarding his work. The questions will cover the artist’s reading of the text, his inspirations and sources, and the challenges he had to face while creating these artworks, as well as the interaction of his corpus with Eric Fraser and Ingahild Grathmer’s illustrations for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
