Overview: Conan Doyle’s relationship with the newly launched Strand Magazine would be of critical importance to popularizing Sherlock Holmes. George Newnes, the Strand’s publisher, wanted to introduce an American-style magazine to British readers. Published monthly, the Strand featured short stories—as opposed to serials—with illustrations on every other page. In another fortuitous accident, the illustrator Sidney Paget was commissioned to realize Holmes and Watson in the Strand’s pages. (The story goes that the Strand’s art editor, W.J.K. Boot, wanted Sidney’s younger brother, the well-known artist Walter Paget, but forgot his first name and mistakenly addressed his request to Sidney, also a commercial artist.) Paget would go on to illustrate the next thirty-seven Sherlock Holmes short stories, as well as The Hound of the Baskervilles, establishing the look that readers would forever after associate with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Ironically, it was Sidney’s brother Walter whom the artist used as the model for Holmes’s distinctive profile—and which resulted in a handsomer version of the consulting detective than the author had intended.
Other illustrators had created artwork for the first two novels (including Conan Doyle’s father, Charles Doyle, who put a beard on Holmes for the first book edition of A Study in Scarlet), and more continued to do so in the pages of Harper’s, Collier’s, and other books and magazines around the world. Most notably, F.H. Townsend and Frederick Dorr Steele created memorable impressions of the master sleuth contemporaneously with Paget, but neither could afford to stray far from the prototype Paget had created.

Sherlock Holmes Illustrated and Complete (The Seashell Press)
Here is Sherlock Holmes as he’s never been seen before: all four novels and fifty-six stories with an introduction and notes by Dr. Mary Eichbauer of Stanford University’s Discovering Sherlock Holmes Project. This ebook includes over 900 illustrations, 200 in full color—it could never have been published in print. Here are the gloomy, deeply moving original illustrations by Sidney Paget, the darker, more modern drawings of Frederic Dorr Steele, and the occasional art by other contemporary illustrators. Here, too, are the original magazine covers from The Strand in London and Colliers in America, as well as book covers from around the world, contemporary paintings, birdseye maps of London at the time, and even a map of the Underground. See Sherlock in all his disguises. Study for yourself the dancing men, the floor plan of 221B Baker Street, a map of the Baskerville moors, a postcard from the Hôtel du Sauvage at Reichenbach Falls, a drawing of the Bruce-Partington submarine, Holmes’ diagram of the crime scene at the Priory School, the position of the professor’s study in the Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez, and the photograph of Irene Adler that Sherlock requested as his only fee for saving the King’s marriage. Follow Holmes and Watson down the boulevards and back alleys of Victorian London, see what they saw, and marvel again at adventures of the greatest detective who ever lived.
