Sherlock Holmes 1 - Fore-edge painting of Benedict Cumberbatch
"It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it."
- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
I hope I can stimulate you to fall in love with reading and giving this book a new home. I found an old copy of this book with the cover and edges worn. And so, I began to revive it for the next detective mind to dive into its mysteries. I painted the fore-edge with a portrait of Benedict Cumberbatch who plays the titular role in the iconic BBC show, Sherlock. I then bound the timeless classic with a hard cover and a lovely pastel yellow cotton fabric. The book is now restored and 'the game afoot'.
📘 Volume 2 available in my shop.
This is Volume 1 of a 2 part series of the complete novels of Sherlock Holmes. It isa preloved book, painted and rebound by hand.
The decorated edges are lightly coated by fixative to protect the paint. The pages can be opened to read. A gentle reminder that it is primarily a work of art. It is best to place the book away from direct sunlight and water. Colours may vary a little from the photographs due to different screens and monitors.
