Some more info and pictures: https://tovejansson.com/hobbit-tolkien/ https://shop.moomin.com/products/the-hobbit-illustrated-by-tove-jansson Interesting that she drew Gollum as so large. The page above notes that Tolkien added a note about Gollum's size in later editions of the book because she wasn't the only one that did that.

Particularly in the earliest editions, which didn't mention that he was supposed to be small. So he had many different looks. permalink fedilink source parent
