The layouts for my typebook for the typeface Baskerville. Its based on the Sherlock Holmes story “The Hound of the Baskervilles”. I used excerpts from Sr Arthur Conan Doyle’s original text to display the typeface. The whole booklet was created using only the Baskerville typeface, including the hound’s skeleton.
Ben and Martin are in the Guinness world record book.
Apparently sir Arthur Conan Doyle holds a record for Sherlock Holmes being the most on screen literary character with over 81 actors portraying him and over 220 productions.
If Sir Doyle weren’t already dead he’d probably kill himself.
I wonder if there would ever be a Arthur Conan Doyle episode in Doctor Who like the one they created for Vincent van Gogh.
Except when the Doctor takes Doyle to modern ages to see the Sherlock Holmes museum he cries for an entirely different reason.
