"Illustrating Tolkien"

Hi, thanks for your interest in this article. The title you chose, however, doesn't match the article contents well, as the subject is not a list of illustrations or depictions (or even an illustrative depiction, whatever one of those might be), but an analysis of the process of illustrating Tolkien's work. The construction is a familiar one in British English, and I wonder, given the MOS:RETAIN thread above this one, whether a difference in varieties of English might not be the reason for your edit here. We say, for instance, "illustrating Shakespeare" or "illustrating Conan Doyle" when discussing how artists have attempted to represent the work of those writers. The title has a further useful connotation, which is that the artists are attempting to get inside Tolkien's mind, to depict his intention and thought. Anyway, I've popped the title back to its status quo ante. Happy to discuss further. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
