Sherlock Holmes - A Study In Illustrations - Volume 1 Av Mike Foy

<p>Sherlock Holmes is truly a ''Man for All Seasons'' and his image has been worked and re-worked for over a century. Unsurprisingly the illustrated Holmes of 1887 differs from that of today. In this multi-volume work, we will show how various illustrators have visualised Holmes and other characters who appeared in Arthur Conan Doyle''s works. Later volumes will celebrate Holmes in non-Canonical stories as illustrators and authors placed Holmes in fresh adventures, but more of that later.</p><p><br></p><p>This volume is not going to be diverse; it is true to say that one person dominates. While it is true that there are illustrations by Charles Altamont Doyle, David Henry Friston, James Grieg, and Walter Stanley Paget - the majority of this book is dominated by one person - Sidney Paget. Just as nine tenths of an iceberg lies under the water; this book is overwhelmingly Sidney Paget.</p><p><br></p><p>If you are an admirer of his work, you are in for a treat as every Sidney Paget Sherlo
