Sherlock Holmes – A Study in Illustrations – Volume 3 by Mike Foy

Welcome to “Sherlock Holmes – A Study in Illustrations – Volume 3.” Now we finally enter the world of Sherlock Holmes in glorious colour — gone are the monochrome illustrations of Sidney Paget, Richard Gutschmidt and others. It is finally time for a splash of colour through the work of our featured artist, Frederic Dorr Steele. It is only in a colour volume that Steele’s talents can truly shine, especially his wonderfully coloured Collier Covers (not an easy thing to say!).

This book features a very cosmopolitan collection by artists from France, Ireland, America, Spain, and 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?

See illustrations of Holmes in every medium, from books to magazines to cigarette cards. Includes art created and produced by André Galland, Gaston Simoes da Fonseca, Pamela Colman Smith, Albert George Morrow, William Gillette, Frederic Dorr Steele, Alexander Boguslavsky, Joanquin Coll Salieti, Wladyslaw Teodor (WT) Brenda, and John French Sloan.
