Sherlock Holmes - A Study in Illustrations - Volume 3
So what is in this book, well we have a very cosmopolitan collections from artist from France, Ireland, America, Spain, & Britain, starting with Beeton's Christmas Annual of 1887, the publication which first introduced the World to Holmes or is that Holmes to the World? This is our first cover image as befits it's importance, then we have a rather pleasing front cover by French artist, André Galland, who sadly only ever did one illustration of Holmes. More covers follow from another French artist, namely Gaston Simoes da Fonseca, sorry we will have to split Fonseca's work over two volumes, because he only did 3 colour (shown here) and 128 monochrome images so he will be the featured artist in the next volume, think of his three colour images, here as an introduction to his main body of work.
There is a short introduction to the English Artist Pamela Colman Smith and the Irish Illustrator Albert George Morrow before we come to the William Gillette section, with posters for his play and film and also a programme. This leads us onto Frederic Dorr Steele's Holmes and his Avatar of Gillette, as he appeared in print, over 200 pages as we explore the entire Steele collection.
In addition to appearing in books and magazines, Holmes also appeared on Cards, and we have the complete collection of 25 "Turf" cigarette cards produced by Alexander Boguslavsky in 1923, strictly speaking these are not a Holmes collection, but a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle character one. Next we have a 1920s Joanquin Coll Salieti series of 40 cards that illustrated 3 Sherlock Holmes s
