@chatutu4.bsky.socialReposted by @greatdetective.bsky.socialSherlock Holmes (URSS 1979).

@greatdetective.bsky.socialI did spot this one!
@greatdetective.bsky.socialWhat excellent research; thank you so much!
@greatdetective.bsky.socialI wonder if anyone might know where this illustration is from. All I could find is that it may once have appeared in an Italian magazine alongside The Sign of the Four.

@greatdetective.bsky.socialDoesn't really seem like the most sensible of outfits for a stroll among the graves, does it
