Where it came from
The Old Thrush card is part of The Hobbit Collectible Card Game, which was released in 1995 by Iron Crown Enterprises. Designed to coincide with the enduring popularity of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, the set aimed to immerse players in the narrative arc of Bilbo Baggins’ journey. The game featured artwork from various fantasy illustrators who sought to evoke the atmospheric, rustic charm of Middle-earth as described in the original 1937 novel.
The card depicts the iconic thrush that reveals the secret door on the Lonely Mountain to Bilbo and the dwarves. The illustration was created by artist Ted Nasmith, a renowned figure in the Tolkien community known for his detailed, traditional landscapes. His work was intended to capture the classic, epic fantasy aesthetic rather than the more stylized interpretations of the time, and it was generally well-received by fans for its faithfulness to the source material.
