Exhibition catalogue Following the trails of tolkien and the medieval imaginary world - Paintings and Drawings of John Howe, presented at Fonds Hélène & Edouard Leclerc pour la culture, Landerneau (June 25, 2023 - January 8, 2024).

An artist of international repute, John Howe first illustrated Tolkien’s novels before taking part in the artistic direction of the two cinematographic trilogies The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit alongside filmmaker Peter Jackson, living for several years in New Zealand during the shooting of the films. More recently, he has taken part in the artistic production of The Lord of the Ring: The Rings of Power.

Complemented with a selection of paintings and old authentic accessories (armour, swords), the exhibition offers an orginal vision, pictorial, cultural and ludic on Tolkien’s universe and the myths that inspired it.

The exhibition trail is also punctuated with works of art contemporary to Tolkien,like those from the Pre-Raphaelite movement-opposed to the British classic conformism, and mainly inspired by medieval imaginary - as well as from the Arts and Crafts movement.

This sounds fantastic. Is the note of it being English a mistake? The listings give the language as French (on Amazon(, but says English text in the link to the website.

I have seen some pictures of the inside of the book, and the text is in English.

No guarantee that the copy you get is like that, but I assume they did an English version of the catalogue for the exhibition as well as other languages.

The Amazon links are third party marketplace links, so I wouldn't trust their bibliographical data. The French site is pretty clear the book is in English. I've ordered through the website, should have a copy in 3-4 days to confirm. Someone more local might be able to answer sooner.

Thanks Urulókë and Trotter. I have ordered it. Will update here if it arrives before others confirm the language.

Are the English and French version exactly the same?
I mean the illustrations.
As it seems the English one has fewer pages.

So I can confirm if anyone was still unsure that the ISBN from Emilien is indeed for the English version of the book and that the Amazon listing stating French is wrong. It is a lovely, very lovely book and I am going to enjoy reading this one.

Cheers Urulókë for the heads up.
