BRITISH CELEBRITIES (VIII): SHERLOCK HOLMES

Sherlock Holmes
Elementary, My Dear Watson

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional and bohemian character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a Scottish physician and writter. Holmes was the most prestigious detective in London at the end of the XIX Century thanks to his ability using forensic science (shoe and tire impressions, handwriting analysis, ballistics, and fingerprints) and logical reasoning for solving the most difficult cases. 

He doesn’t work alone. John Watson, a physician, is his partner. Both of them live at 221B Baker Street.

Sherlock Holmes is considered the most portrayed movie character by Guiness World Records with more than 70 actors playing him in over 200 films.

It is simplicity itself... My eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey.
