description: The ascetic, gaunt &amp; enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the now legendary &amp; pioneering Strand Magazine began serializing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted by his doggedly loyal &amp; lovably pedantic friend &amp; companion, Dr. Watson. The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes &amp; his world derive &amp; who first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat.
