Titolo: Illustrations from worldwide editions of "The Hobbit"

Hello,
First please accept my apologies for writing in english in this newsgroup.
I created a set of galleries with illustrations from "The Hobbit" published
in various foreign editions :
http://pblancho.free.fr
Only 6 galleries are online for now but  the remaining ones will be online
during this week, 2 new editions each day, and more will come later.
If you had  an old illustrated edition not mentioned on these
pages, please send me an email ! Especially, I never heard about any
illustrated italian Hobbit edition, could someone please confirm ?
Thanks for your visit, and enjoy !

L'italiano lo conosco bene ed e` gia` di pochi, le lingue straniere sono 
scolastiche ma me la cavo con la mimica.

E perché il tipo sarebbe uno spammer ? Guarda che il suo sito a
un'occhiata veloce sembra caruccio!

Thanks Gwindor,
I was not really waiting for any answer to my post, and even less to be
qualified as a "spammer"...
I tool me  years to collect all these books, and some time to create this
website, because I wanted to
share all of this with Tolkien-fans, not for myself since I already have
these illustrations on books.
I don't see where spam is when :
1- I present Tolkien-related materials in a Tolkien newsgroup (in english on
an italian group, yes, sorry again...)
about a topic (illustrating "the Hobbit") that interest even the greatest
Tolkien scholars :

2- I ask a question about Italian Tolkien editions...
Thanks
Patrice.

I apologize. I didn't really read your post, as the subject was in english 
and there was a link in the body of the message, and such articles are 
usualy spam.
Regarding italian editions of the Hobbit, the standard edition only has 
Tolkien's own illustrations, and the cover shows Smaug in Tolkien's 
illustration, or (in some paperback editions) in the one made by the 
Hildebrandts Bros.
There's another edition ("The Hobbit annotated"), with comments and notes 
by Douglas Anderson, which has a lot of illustrations, but none are 
original: they are all ilustrations taken from various international 
editions of The Hobbit (english, russian, japanese, portuguese, swedish, 
ungarian, romanian, slovachian, french, jugoslavian, esthonian), and there 
are no specifically italian illustrations.

Soronel has already cleared his position, so I think everything is now
OK and I'm happy to welcome you among us. This NG is of course meant to
be in Italian, but almost everybody here'round can understand and write
a little English, so if you can read Italian I'm sure your contributions
will be welcome by everyone. BTW, how is it that you are so concentrated
upon "The hobbit" ? You know, among fans it's usually considered a
"minor work".

I know this book, and in fact I think it was the starting point of my
attempt
to gather various foreign illustrated editions. It's going to be reedited in
september I think, I hope we will have a french edition this time....
Thanks
