Conan Doyle
circa 1895: British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930), creator of fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Doyle studied medicine at Edinburgh University and practised as a physician during the 2nd Boer War. He started publishing short stories in 1879 while working as a doctor in Southsea. The Sherlock Holmes stories were serialised in The Strand magazine and proved so popular that Doyle felt pressurized to revive the character after the detective had plunged to his death over a waterfall.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the brilliant British writer who brought to life the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes. Taken around 1895 by the London Stereoscopic Company, this portrait showcases Doyle's commanding presence as he stands confidently in his military uniform. Doyle's journey to literary greatness was a unique one. Despite studying medicine at Edinburgh University and practicing as a physician during the 2nd Boer War, it was his passion for storytelling that truly defined him. While working as a doctor in Southsea, he began publishing short stories in 1879, laying the foundation for what would become an enduring legacy. The Sherlock Holmes stories became an instant sensation when they were serialised in The Strand magazine. So beloved were these tales that when Doyle decided to kill off his famous detective by plunging him over a waterfall, public outcry forced him to resurrect Holmes from apparent demise. In this studio shot, Conan Doyle gazes directly at the camera with determination and intellect shining through his eyes. His pith helmet adds an intriguing touch of adventure to his persona. This archival photograph not only celebrates Conan Doyle's contribution to literature but also offers us a glimpse into the fascinating life of this extraordinary author whose imagination continues to captivate readers worldwide.
