Summary
This painting by J.R.R. Tolkien, dated 1927, was published in The Silmarillion Calendar 1978. The title is in Old English letters, which J. R. R. Tolkien frequently used when writing in a formal style. At the time of the painting the name of the Father of Dragons was Glórund, not Glaurung, and for the reproduction in the Calendar Christopher Tolkien rewrote the Old English lettering in precisely similar form in order to introduce the name by which the Dragon is known in the published work. The entrance to Nargothrond is here seen as a single arch, unlike the triple doors seen in other drawings.
