excerpt of Strangers: Homosexual Love in the Nineteenth Century by Graham Robb
“Holmes rubbed his hands, and his eyes glistened. He leaned forward in his chair with an expression of extraordinary concentration upon his clear-cut, hawklike features. ‘State your case’ said he, in brisk, business tones” , illustration by Richard Gutschmidt for Das Zeichen der Vier (The Sign of Four), 1902.

“Her face had neither regularity of feature nor beauty of complexion, but her expression was sweet and amiable, and her large blue eyes were singularly spiritual and sympathetic. In an experience of women which extends over many nations and three separate continents, I have never looked upon a face which gave a clearer promise of a refined and sensitive nature.”

I long wanted to do a Watson-centered piece. Here it is. Meeting Mary Morstan. I read that part again and realised how badly I suck at drawing anything historically accurate. xD Anyone who can show me how a small turban of 1886/7 (or so) looks like, please do. I need it desperately.

“…Holmes was lucky in having a friend who was willing to play second fiddle, yet always ready with his help when required, even if he knew it mean risking his life.”

Let's talk about Mary Watson!
The lady is a straight-up badass.
A guy comes into her train car and tries to kill her and her husband on their honeymoon?
She grabs a gun and gets the situation under control, because Mary Watson will not take your shit.
Gets tossed out of a moving train into a river?
Snarks about the guy who did it instead of panicking.
Walks into a room with a naked man?
Keeps calm and carries on like a boss.
She deciphered Moriarty’s little red book and took his ass down, laughing at the inspectors that couldn’t keep up with her.
To sum up-
Mary Watson: kicking ass, taking names, and being more badass than you since 1891.
About six years ago--to be exact, upon the 4th of May, 1882--an advertisement appeared in the Times asking for the address of Miss Mary Morstan and stating that it would be to her advantage to come forward. There was no name or address appended. I had at that time just entered the family of Mrs. Cecil Forrester in the capacity of governess. By her advice I published my address in the advertisement column. The same day there arrived through the post a small card-board box addressed to me, which I found to contain a very large and lustrous pearl. No word of writing was enclosed. Since then every year upon the same date there has always appeared a similar box, containing a similar pearl, without any clue as to the sender.
