J.R.R._Tolkien_-_Taniquetil - from our story 'The Magical Art Of J.R.R. Tolkien'

This watercolour by J.R.R. Tolkien dates in all probability from the same period (1927-8) as the other Silmarillion paintings. It was published in The J. R. R. Tolkien Calendar 1974, and again in The Silmarillion Calendar 1978. Taniquetil, called also Oiolosse:, Amon Uilos, and Mount Ever-white, was the highest or the mountains that guarded Valinor and the highest mountain of Arda, 'upon whose summit Manwe: set his throne' In the foreground is one of the white swan-ships of the Telerin Elves who dwelt on the coast of Aman.
