Synopsis

Volume 4 returns to monochrome illustration and brings together an eclectic range of artists, with a strong presence of French illustrators. The largest bodies of work come from Brazilian-born French illustrator Gaston de Forseca, with 128 images completing his Sherlock Holmes output, and Czech-born Josef Freidrich, represented by 100 illustrations.

Further selections include material from Solar D’alba, Charles Raymond Macauley (from a 1905 edition of The Return of Sherlock Holmes) and John Richard Flanagan’s work for Collier’s magazine. The volume also draws on newspaper illustration from the San Francisco Call, the St. Louis Republic and the New York Tribune, alongside contributions connected with Pierre George Dutriac, Paul Henri Thiriat, Henry Matthew Brock and Joseph William Simpson, culminating in a total of 398 illustrations.
