EDITORS COMMENTS
Sherlock Holmes: A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1917. In this production, Holmes was employed by the British government to foil the nefarious plans of the German spy, Von Bork. The image shows Holmes in deep concentration, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen object, as he sits in a dimly lit room, surrounded by an air of intrigue and suspense. The detective's signature pipe clenched between his teeth, the aroma of its smoke adding to the atmosphere of mystery. The year was 1917, a time of great political turmoil and international tension, with the First World War raging in Europe. The image of Holmes as a government agent, using his exceptional intellect and deductive reasoning to protect national security, resonated deeply with audiences, who were eager for a sense of heroism and victory in the face of adversity. This photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation, and the lasting impact of Gillette's portrayal of the character. The image has been published in numerous books and scholarly articles on the history of Sherlock Holmes and the cultural significance of detective fiction. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when the world looked to fictional heroes for inspiration and hope." Mary Evans Picture Library / Mary Evans Prints Online.
