About this deal

A coal scuttle containing cigars, pipes and tobacco: The Musgrave Ritual and The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone At the age of nine Conan Doyle was sent to the Roman Catholic Jesuit preparatory school, Hodder Place, Stonyhurst. He then went on to Stonyhurst College, leaving in 1875. For elements not found in the Strand Magazine illustrations I used reference photos of Victorian era items. Watson's not wasting any time here. So we learn, in two sentences, that Holmes is: not fond of other people, ridiculously smart, kind of a drug addict, working unofficially to fight crime and, as if I couldn’t say it enough -- ridiculously smart!

This elephant in the room is what sets my illustration apart from the others. See the section below, Was 221B Baker Street a Terraced House? for more details. I became curious which of the Holmes stories did not get adapted and found a list at the bottom of the Wikipedia entry below.Holmes next goes to the office from which the plans were stolen. Sidney Johnson, the senior clerk, tells Holmes that, as always, he was the last man out of the office that night, and that he had put the papers in the safe. Anyone coming in afterwards to steal them would have needed three keys (for the building, the office, and the safe), but no duplicates were found on West's body, and only the late Sir James had all three keys. Johnson also mentions that one of the seven recovered papers includes an invention without which the submarine could not be properly built. Holmes also discovers that it is possible to see what is happening inside the office from outside even when the iron shutters are closed.

A reading lamp which Holmes turned away from himself and towards a vacant chair: The Five Orange Pips Most of the stories are highly atmospheric and if you've ever been to England it's very easy to immerse yourself in the narrative, which I thought was marvelous. So the curtain does not just cover the window, but must also conceal enough space around the window to allow Holmes to enter and perform his secret task without making any noise or ruffling the curtain. This had to be a fairly large space.Conan Doyle's house, Undershaw, located in Hindhead, south of London, where he had lived for a decade, had been a hotel and restaurant between 1924 and 2004. It now stands empty while conservationists and Conan Doyle fans fight to preserve it. Whenever anyone asked me if they could use the illustration in a publication or game, I freely granted permission. This increased its exposure and made it famous all around the world.
