It gives a different picture every time you refresh the page... but I have found it eventually, and I don't know it - never seen it. All the other pictures, however, as far as I have been able to see, are by Ted Nasmith. So it might be assumed that this one is as well.
And I must say, the video is really interesting. I am watching it one part at a time, but it is wonderful.

Indeed. Something just brilliant.

As for the site itself, was anybody else amused by seeing People of Middle-Earth and other parts of HoME grouped under 'Non-fiction'?

Actually haven't noticed that originally.
