  Sidney Paget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sidney Edward Paget (October 4, 1860 in London - January 28, 1908) was a British illustrator of the Victorian era, who did a great deal of work for The Strand magazine.
It is said that Paget based Holmes' appearance on that of his own brother, Walter Paget.
Paget did for Sherlock Holmes what John Tenniel did for Lewis Carroll's Alice stories: he defined the look of a truly great and original fictional character.

Paget's heavily cloaked figure is definitely female, a tribute to his skills, and perhaps too daunting a task for Friedrich to accomplish.
There is no corresponding image in the Paget version of this meeting, but the Watson drawn in the Paget images does not dress in ill fashioned morning coats with wild hair and stalking demeanor.
Paget draws an Englishman, unexcited in his response to the King's presence and Holmes' plans to break the law, to serve.

 A Biographical Sketch of Illustrator Walter Paget (1863-1935)
It was Walter Paget whom Strand Magazine publisher Sir George Newnes (who founded The Strand in 1891, The Westminster Gazette in 1873, and Country Life in 1897) had selected to illustrate the initial six Holmes stories, but through a mix-up Sidney Paget received that commission instead.
Sidney Paget illustrated thirty-eight Holmes stories, including The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1891-93), The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, and The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902), his 357 drawings involving his younger brother Walter as the facial model for the detective.
Jackson praises Paget's handling of the landscape scenes in The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved, especially his treatment of the Isle of the Slingers -- "proportioning of figure to landscape and juxtaposing of one human figure with another are especially well done" (127).

 Deerstalker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The public perception of Holmes as a "deerstalker man" was derived from the original illustrations for the stories by Sidney Paget and others.
The deerstalker is traditionally a rural outdoorsman's cap, not the appropriate headgear for the properly-dressed urban gentleman.
Paget and the other illustrators who portrayed Holmes in a deerstalker always placed him in the proper setting for such attire (i.e., traveling crosscountry or operating in a rural outdoor setting).

 Sherlockian.Net: A note on early illustrations
Actors were chosen more for their resemblance to Paget's Holmes than they were for their artistry upon the stage, and that inclination continues to this day, more than ninety years after Paget's pen was laid down for the last time.
The Paget Press was started to venerate the memory of Sidney Paget and to provide reproductions and memorabilia of his work to Sherlockians world wide.
In 1893, when Sidney Paget drew his immortal illustration of Holmes and Moriarty in their death struggle above the Reichenbach Falls, hand engraving and acid etching was still the only way to incorporate companion art into finished print.

 Sidney Paget's Sherlock Holmes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The images of Sherlock Holmes as drawn by Sidney Paget have become as much a part of the canon's appeal as the text by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Sidney Paget was not the first choice of the editors who thought they were commissioning his brother Walter a much better known artist who had illustrated Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe.
The independence of Paget in interpreting the stories through his images often leads to a subtlesub text that may at times be with odds with traditional interpretation of the stories.

 The Diogenes Club: Sidney Edward Paget   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
One of the most (if not the most) important illustrators of the Canon (sharing the stage with Frederic Dorr Steele), Sidney Paget was born in London, middle brother of three artists (Henry, Sidney and Walter).
Paget chose as his model his brother, Walter (actually a more famous illustrator).
Interestingly, it has been noted that his brother Walter was the Paget who was to be pressed into service to illustrate the Canon for The Strand and it was, apparently, through error that Sidney got the commission.

The three brothers Henry Marriott Paget, Sidney Edward Paget and Walter Stanley Paget (there were also at least 2 other brothers in the family) were all illustrators in the magazines of the 1880s onwards, working with wash drawings in a fairly realistic style.

 Frontline's Response -- and a Reply
He was familiar with poems by Raleigh and Sidney and Oxford and the others that had not yet appeared in print but that had been circulated in manuscript.
That is why his sentence is conditional: "as it would appear if their works could be found out and made public...." Indeed, it's likely that some of the manuscripts Puttenham perused contained poems by unnamed authors, as is the case with some contemporary manuscripts that have come down to us.
Neither Oxford nor Buckhurst nor Sidney nor Raleigh nor any of the Elizabethan "courtly makers" is mentioned in the chapter that contains this passage; but this is not surprising, as these were men who were not afraid to be known as poets.

 Discovering Sherlock Holmes - A Community Reading Project From Stanford University
When "A Scandal in Bohemia" was published in The Strand Magazine in 1891, readers were greeted with Sidney Paget's moody drawings, which represent Holmes as tall, handsome, and elegant, despite Conan Doyle's original description, according to which Holmes was extremely thin, with a large nose and small eyes set close together.
Apparently Paget's younger brother Walter, whom the artist used as a model, was quite a handsome fellow.
Conan Doyle soon grew attached to Sidney Paget's elegant vision of Holmes, and when he met the American actor William Gillette, who wanted to play Holmes on the stage, he felt that his creation had come to life.

 Peacham's Silence about Shakespeare
In the case of Paget this is almost certainly because he was completely unfamiliar with Paget's poetry.
Not one line of verse by Paget has survived, that we know of, and Puttenham seems to have been the only person to have reported having known any of Paget's verse (none of which, alas, he quotes).
I know of no reference to Paget's having written verse that is independent of Puttenham, and it is most likely that his name appears in Peacham simply because it appeared in Puttenham, and Paget was of sufficient rank to be worth noting.

It might be a drawing by Sidney Paget or Frederic Dorr Steele, or maybe Basil Rathbone or Peter Cushing.
This all turned out to be a happy accident indeed, for these illustrations were so linked to the successful series, at least in Britain, that the artwork of one brother and the physical likeness of the other became synonomous with Sherlock Holmes.
