When it wants to that is. Some details are very disenfranchising and flat out unrealistic. And typical of Victorian lit., women are downplayed so much, also the natives in Britain's colonies. This is majorly disappointing, and at times extremely offensive but the beauty of the work is only slightly marred.

My day job was teaching English to junior and senior high school students in Tokyo, so I printed the illustration up along with a work sheet that contained a list of all the elements for my students to circle. Now the illustration had a practical purpose. The illustration has also been displayed in an exhibition in Italy. The photo above on the right came from a video promoting the exhibition.

The books were not illustrated, but the flat at 221B Baker Street flat began to take shape in my imagination.If one could just ignore that story, then constructing a floor plan would be simple -- and most artists who have attempted to depict 221B Baker Street have done just that. Looking at the floor plan in light of this, I get the impression that somehow it's okay to include a light shaft which is not mentioned in the stories but was common in a terraced house, but not okay to include a secret exit which is mentioned in the stories but will not be found in a terraced house. And the problems don't end there. someone to go halves with him in some nice rooms which he had found, and which were too much for his purse.

Conan Doyle's house, Undershaw, located in Hindhead, south of London, where he had lived for a decade, had been a hotel and restaurant between 1924 and 2004.

There is now a bow window as mentioned in The Adventure of the Beryl Cornet and The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone instead of a bay window.

Regarding the bow window, we read in A Study in Scarlet that there were two broad windows, but in the same story, Mr. Jefferson Hope after he had been handcuffed, "hurled himself through the window" and that "wood and glass gave way before him." This seems to imply that there was but one large window and that it was large enough for a man to be tempted to jump through. In The Sign of Four Watson is standing "at the window" watching Mary Morstan walking down the street, and later he "sat in the window" with a book in his hand. In The Adventure of the Beryl Cornet Watson wrote, "...I stood one morning in our bow window looking down the street" and that Holmes stood behind him, looking over his shoulder out the same window, rather than simply look out a window next to it. These accounts seem to indicate that they had only one bow window facing the street, and that it was large enough for an adult to stand and sit in it and even jump through it. It is always referred to as "the window" rather than "one of the windows" so I have placed the second window on the other side of the room and made it a regular window and not a bow window to reconcile the various accounts.Therefore, taking their cue from these old maps and photos some people believe that 221B Baker Street must have been a terraced house as well.
