The Adventure of the Final Problem: Sidney Paget Illustrations

In the last two letters from our friend Watson we are informed of the dead of the world's first consulting detective after a duel against (former) professor Moriarty. When this story was published in 1893 in The Strand Magazine in the United Kingdom, and McClure's in the United States. Sidney Paget was the artist behind these images in Strand and Harry C. Edwards in McClure's.

Sidney Edward Paget (4 october 1860 - 28 january 1908) was a British illustrator famous for his illustrations of the Sherlock Holmes stories in The Strand.

He had two brothers who were also illustrators (and who also illustrated some Conan Doyle's works) : Walter Paget and Henry M. Paget. As a consequence, in 1891, when the Strand editor, George Newnes, asked art director W. H. Boot to find an illustrator for the Sherlock Holmes stories, the latter sent an offer to Walter Paget but the letter arrived to Sidney Paget.

Between 1891 and 1904, he did 594 illustrations for Arthur Conan Doyle's works.

The most famous portrait of Professor Moriarty

I really love all the details here

The Italian priest that barely speaks English

The falls looks beautiful <3

The final moment. I think that Moriarty was so desesperate to choose a physical fight against someone who does baritsu. If Watson was there this would have ended with a bullet, I guess.

The silver cigarette case, the letter, THE PAIN

I wonder if my great grandfather read Sherlock Holmes when it was in the Strand Magazine. He was born in 1883 and Holmes was published between 1887 and 1893 before returning in 1901. So great grandad would have been 4 when they first came out and perhaps grew up with them. And he worked on the railway as a clerk so he might have picked up discarded mags that passengers may have left behind or even bought his own. Obviously, there's no way of me knowing this, but it is possible he was invested in Holmes and may have even been saddened by the "death" of the detective. Great grandad certainly missed The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes as they were published in the 1920s and great grandad was killed in 1918 (WWI).
