Photography

"fondness for photography" [REDH]    During the earliest days of the Sherlock Holmes stories, photography was still in its infancy. And yet, we are greeted with a number of instances in which photography plays a central or partial role in the plot.   Who were the Canonical photographers and why did they pursue this hobby? And how did photographs play into Sherlock Holmes's ability to solve crimes?   We also have a follow-up item from Episode 37, thanks to some listener feedback.   Please leave us a rating and review on the podcast player of your choice, and consider supporting our efforts through Patreon or PayPal.   Links Stories mentioned in this episode:  "The Red Headed League" "The Copper Beeches" "A Scandal in Bohemia" "The Veiled Lodger" "The Three Garridebs" "The Lion's Mane" Arthur Conan Doyle, Photographer and the tale of "Chawles" - The British Journal of Photography Evidence of Holmes's studies: Sherlock Holmes at Oxford (2nd edition 1981) Fibber McGee and Molly Walter Paget   Music credits Performers: Uncredited violinist, US Marine Chamber Orchestra  Publisher Info.: Washington, DC: United States Marine Band  Copyright: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0   --
