Just as Sidney Paget is England’s foremost Holmes illustrator, so is Dorr Steele for America. After a sprinkling of other early American drawings, we are treated to seventeen marvelous pages of Dorr Steele’s illustrations, many in color. His color covers for Collier’s are absolutely stunning. Other drawings make up the rest of the section; many of interest.
The next section of the book focuses on Holmes on screen, stage and radio. There are some great reproductions here that you have probably never seen before. The William Gillette and John Barrymore fans will certainly be pleased.
The book continues on with advertisements, parodies, vintage Sherlockiana (more Gillette and Dorr Steele!) and a plethora of cartoons. This is all followed by a useful index.
Any fan of the visual Sherlock Holmes in America will rate this book highly. And it definitely rises to much greater than “coffee tableâ€? status.
