Stay a While...

These images below are thumbnail images. Click on a thumbnail to load the full size version which resides at The University of Sweden.

I have found the Swedish site to be very slow. The Hamburg site is usually much faster.

The full size images are very large. I give the size of the full scale image file is in bytes. Even the thumbnails are large enough to be usable. I have divided Alan Lee's artwork into more than one page because of its extensiveness and the size of the thumbnail images.

You can right-click either the thumbnail or full size image and save a copy to your system. Please do this if you want a copy. Please do not reference this page on Gandolf dot Com in an anchor tag; use your copy instead.
