Description
In this work by Mark Buckingham, we encounter four very famous Britons. The first two are, of course, Sherlock Holmes and his steadfast companion Dr. Watson — here in their film incarnations as portrayed by Cumberbatch and Freeman. Completing this artistic constellation are the artist himself, Buckingham’s signature mastery of detail, and the subtle charm of his illustration, which makes every Sherlock fan feel as if they were at a film premiere — and every collector as though they were holding a small British pop-culture treasure.
