Do you spend time looking at J.R.R. Tolkien’s beautiful maps and wondering what it would be like to visit all the places that are labeled but never visited in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, or The Silmarillion? This original, hand-painted illustration of The Floating Log in Frogmorton can help you try to fill in one of those blanks.
Frogmorton is located in the Eastfarthing of the Shire, just below The Water, and its name has been translated by Professor Tom Shippey in The Road to Middle-earth as meaning "a town in a marshland where frogs live". Things to notice about this painting:
Bilbo and Frodo have come to visit on a hobbit walking party. They sit smoking on a little bench and admiring the view at dusk.
The hobbits must have mastered a technique of building on difficult marshy ground, and the wooden inn rather resembles a log floating on the water.
A railed boardwalk has been built to safely guide visitors to the inn across the water. Hobbits are coming across it with lanterns.
Frogs sing in the marsh grass.
Little by little, I am working on painting places in and around The Shire to enrich our ability to feel as if we are there when we read about them. By hanging a museum-quality print of this original, hand-done painting in your home, I hope you will feel that you, too, are taking a hobbit walking party through wonderful places in Middle-earth.
