The World of Tolkien: New Zealand
New Zealand feels like a combination of Ireland and Iceland only with much better weather, more sheep, higher mountains, bigger lakes and glaciers, and some of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. It's no wonder that the Lord of the Rings films were all made there. New Zealand is Tolkien's Middle Earth in all it mystery and power.
Ron Rosenstock's signature book from his journeys around the world includes some amazing images from New Zealand. Hymn to the Earth includes forty-two black and white photographs from around the world, accompanied by poetry by the Irish poet, Gabriel Rosenstock. Published in a limited Edition of 1,000 signed and numbered copies with Duotone photographs. This was the inspiring and dramatic accompanying book to Ron's exhibition at the Worcester Art Museum.
