A Decorative Drawing


I thought this blog could use a picture or two. Here's Holmes enjoying a concert given by the great Spanish violin virtuoso Pablo de Sarasate. It was drawn by Sidney Paget for "The Adventure of the Red-Headed League," which was published in the Strand Magazine in August of 1891.

(By the way - where's Watson? Is he the guy directly behind Holmes? Or did he just get so bored that he left at intermission?)
