Posted on the Tolkien Collector FB group, but here are the pictures of the private viewing "Aubusson weaves Tolkien" Exhibition, where I had the chance and privilege to meet again with the Tolkien Family, as well as Catherine McIlwaine and Professor Ferré.
A memory I will cherish forever.
Below the pictures of the event.

And a first look at the catalogue (signed by Baillie, Emmanuel Gerard director of the City of the Tapestry, Alice Bernadac, curator of the exhibition ; Catherine Mc Illwaine and Vincent Ferré, who wrote articles in the catalog.)
Inside, a preface by Baillie Tolkien, an introduction by Emmanuel Gerard, and some articles by C. McIllwaine, Vincent Ferré, Alice Bernadac and others.
The second part is dedicated to the tapestries : each one has a double page with the cartoon facing the final artwork, plus another 2 pages about details and original painting by Tolkien.
Baillie and Adam kindly signed a special page of the Tolkien Family Album :)
And at last a copy of Letters From Father Christmas (HC 2023 jacketed edition) signed by Baillie and a beautiful poster reproducing the Map of Middle Earth Carpet revealed last year :
