“My first movement, Watson,” said he, “must be in the direction of Blackheath”

Sidney Paget

1893

Photographic reproduction of ink or watercolor on paper

Illustration for Arthur Conan Doyle's “The Adventure of the Norwood Builder,” p. 470.

Note how Paget has depicted Holmes as an elegant Victorian gentleman with watch chain and silk hat. No deerstalker here. That's for the country.
