Author or
copyright owner 		J. R. R. Tolkien
Source (WP:NFCC#4) Original publication: used as cover of some later editions

Immediate source: https://onlineshop.oxfam.org.uk/the-two-towers/product/HD_301570767

Date of publication after 1954
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) The Two Towers
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image shows the two towers as Minas Morgul and Orthanc, agreeing with Tolkien's note at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, but conflicting with other statements that he made in letters to his publisher. The illustration shows his design and his intention in 1954, and illuminates the discussion in the article, helping the reader to understand Tolkien's thinking for the volume. Tolkien had not intended to have 3 volumes, having proposed 6 "books". Once the publisher had insisted on 3 volumes, Tolkien chose titles for them but struggled to make sense of "The Two Towers", considering multiple possible interpretations, then coming up with the one illustrated in this cover design, which is entirely different from the cover of the first edition.
Not replaceable with
free media because (WP:NFCC#1) 		This exact image is named and discussed in the article.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The image is small, used only here, and at the usual lamentable resolution.
Respect for
commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) 		The design is one of several that have been used as the volume's cover, for many years now. The image is widely available on the web, including at the stated site, at far better resolution than the small scaled-down version provided here.
