This drawing of Nargothrond, showing a different conception of the doors from that in the watercolour (no. 33), has not been previously published in its original form, but the coloured version by H. E. Riddett appeared in The Silmarillion Calendar 1978. The original was done at Lyme Regis in Dorset in 1928. The entrance to Nargothrond is shown as it was before the great bridge of Tu'rin was built over the River Narog (The Silmarillion Chapter 21, Of Tu'rin Turambar).
