A dazzling collection of rare art and documents illuminate the life
of Sherlock Holmes beyond the page. As one of the most beloved
characters in the English language, Sherlock Holmes sometimes seems
to have a life of his own, one that leaps beyond the pages of Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle's mystery stories. Sherlock Holmes in 221
Objects aims its magnifying glass toward a host of overlooked
extra-literary objects that tell the story of the famed detective's
publication history outside of Doyle's original canon. Drawing on
their extensive collection of Holmes-related bibliographic
material, Cathy and Glen S. Miranker brings to light exhibits
ranging from original manuscripts, handwritten letters, business
correspondence, vintage book art, pirated editions, and more, all
presented in thematic clusters that highlight their significance to
the case at hand. Throughout, the Mirankers invite readers to share
in the collector's enthusiasm for the kinds of rarities and
oddities that help decipher the appeal of Sherlock Holmes in ways
that transcend what can be found on the page.
