Adventures and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
Adventures and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
10 posts | 14 read | 4 to read
The illustrations for this series were created by Scott McKowen, who, with his wife Christina Poddubiuk, operates Punch & Judy Inc., a company specializing in design and illustration for theater and performing arts. Their projects often involve research into the visual aspects of historical settings and characters. Christina is a theater set and costume designer and contributed advice on the period clothing for the illustrations. Scott created these drawings in scratchboard an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally. It s elementary there s no more intriguing detective than Sherlock Holmes, with his unequalled powers of deduction, and no better mysteries than the tricky ones that only he can solve. Here are some of the finest Holmes stories, recounted by his trusty friend and assistant, Dr. Watson."

I came across this passage from The Naval Treaty tonight that happens to contain a few words that work for #StarTrekSummerMay so I thought I‘d share #AMatterofHonor, #Conspiracy & #TheEnemy

Thank you @Dianeham for this wonderful box of goodies! "Force majeure" is over ? I've been coveting the Margaret Millar collected editions and the Holmes collection is just lovely ? Plus the coffee, bookmarks, Cape May cards, and the New York public library tote. I am also thrilled to learn you have a poetry book—I can't wait to read it. Thank you so much for all of this! ❤️

Thanks for organising the #conandoyleswap, @Beckykearns !

GatheringBooks that sherlock holmes book looks deliciously hefty! 6y
