SHERLOCK HOLMES POSTERS
Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle first appeared in the British magazine The Strand.
The Magazine was a literary sensation, especially with the publication of The Hound of the Baskervilles, one of the most popular of all the Sherlock Holmes stories for which the earliest film adaptation on record is a 1914 German silent production.
Published as a continous series, from August 1901 to April 1902, the plot is set in Dartmoor, Devon, in England's West Country but the beginning is set in London. It tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome hound.
As of 2006, there are at least 24 film adaptations of The Hound of the Baskervilles. Some remain very close to the text of the original book, while others are notable for differences in plot or execution.
In 1990, the Sherlock Holmes Museum was opened in Baker Street London and the following year, in Meiringen Switzerland, another museum was also opened, but naturally they include less historical material about Conan Doyle than about Sherlock Holmes himself.
The Sherlock Holmes Museum in Baker Street, London was the FIRST museum in the world to be dedicated to a fictional character. Source: Wikipedia
