| Sherlock Holmes is investigating the big gigantic footprint |
Is it true that Sherlock Holmes is not ever exist and not real at all?
Yup it is true my dear friends, he is only the fictional character
created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Holmes is famous for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to take on almost any disguise, and his use of forensic science skills to solve difficult cases.
An estimate of Holmes's age in the story "His Last Bow"
places his birth in 1854; the story is set in August 1914 and he is
described as being 60 years of age. Commonly, the date is cited as 6
January
His earliest cases, which he pursued as an amateur, came from fellow university students. According to Holmes, it was an encounter with the father of one of his
classmates that led him to take up detection as a profession and he spent the six years following university working as a consulting
detective, before financial difficulties led him to take Watson as a
roommate, at which point the narrative of the stories begins.
Almost
all of what we know of Sherlock Holmes comes from a series of sixty
memoirs, most of which were from the pen of his friend Dr. Watson. The
first of these, published in 1887 in a magazine called Beeton's Christmas Annual, was A
Study in Scarlet.
These chronicles of Holmes suddenly came to an abrupt end in 1893 when "The
Final Problem" reported Holmes's death at Reichenbach Falls.
One of his famous quotation from his story is:
"Elementary, my dear Watson"
But some other information had stated that Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson" in any of the stories
by Conan Doyle. However, that phrase has been used frequently in the movies
and was even mistakenly cited in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations for 1937 and 1948. The actual quotation is as follows:
"I have the advantage of knowing your habits, my dear Watson," said
he. "When your round is a short one you walk, and when it is a long one
you use a hansom. As I perceive that your boots, although used, are by no
means dirty, I cannot doubt that you are at present busy enough to justify
the hansom."
"Excellent!" I cried.
"Elementary," said he.
"Elementary," said he.
It is one of those instances where the
reasoner can produce an effect which seems remarkable to his neighbour, because
the latter has missed the one little point which is the basis of the deduction.
The same may be said, my dear fellow, for the effect of some of these little
sketches of yours, which is entirely meretricious, depending as it does upon
your retaining in your own hands some factors in the problem which are never
imparted to the reader.
Sherlock Holmes was inspired from?
Doyle said that the character of Sherlock Holmes was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell, for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Like Holmes, Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from the smallest observations. Sir Henry Littlejohn, Lecturer on Forensic Medicine and Public Health at the Royal College of Surgeons,
is also cited as a source for Holmes. Littlejohn served as Police
Surgeon and Medical Officer of Health of Edinburgh, providing for Doyle a
link between medical investigation and the detection of crime
Sherlock Holmes Outfit
A Laid Back Fashion Sense
If
James Bond and the other super spies are known for their flashy suits
and perpetually fixed hairdos, Sherlock Holmes rocks the crime-fighting
world with his laid back fashion sense. He wears a long trench coat,
brown slacks, an old style detective’s hat (sometimes called Holmes’
thinking cap), a wooden pipe and a pair of shiny brown leather shoes.
Clearly, being a class act among detectives has a set of old semi-formal
clothes as its prerequisites.
The Trench Coat
Given the time when the fictional hero was created, Holmes must be one of the initial figures who attached the word “cool” to the trench coat. His coat looks used yet trendy.
The Thinking Cap/Deerstalker hat
A deerstalker is a type of hat that is typically worn in rural areas, often for hunting, especially deer stalking. Because of the hat's popular association with Sherlock Holmes, it is also a stereotypical hat of a detective
The Brown or Gray Slacks
Sherlock Holmes, based on his outfit, is not your average formal guy. If he wore the default black pants, he would have looked more like a business mogul than a detective, which is a no-no for our beloved crime fighter.
The Wooden Pipe
Sherlock Holmes without his trusty pipe is much like Superman taking the subway around Metropolis. The pipe is the most prominent symbol in the novel
Shiny Brown Leather Shoes
Walking in Sherlock Holmes shoes is not an easy feat, but pretty manageable. All he really cares about is the intimidating gleam that his footwear emits, even when fighting crime.
Other Sherlock Accessories
Every detective has loads of tricks under his sleeve. In Sherlock Holmes’ case, he has his magnifying glass and his signature catch phrases. Holmes won’t chide since he relies more on his deductive reasoning for solving crimes. As for his catch phrases, better perfect each and every one of them. Remember, Holmes is a do-gooder, not a serial killer.

| Sir Arthur Canon Doyle the writer of Sherlock Holmes |
As a conclusion, Sherlock Holmes made Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man who popularized the
detective and his adventures, a very wealthy man.
There are a movie that related to the Sherlock Holmes story, I recommended and suggest you to watch this movie and enjoy this movie as Sherlock Holmes is really a mysterious man who full with intelligent thoughts.
