Sherlock Holmes – The Reichenbach Falls Mug

The cover of the Collier's Weekly issue from September 26, 1903, features an iconic illustration by Frederic Dorr Steele, showcasing Sherlock Holmes in a classic and captivating pose. Holmes is depicted at the forefront, dressed in a dark suit, an Inverness cape, and the now-famous deerstalker cap—an accessory popularized in part by Steele's work. He stands amidst a dimly lit, fog-laden setting, evoking an air of mystery and intrigue, reminiscent of London or a similarly urban locale.

Holmes holds a magnifying glass, a quintessential symbol of his role as a detective, and his intense, focused expression conveys his sharp analytical mind. The background is painted in subdued, moody tones, amplifying the suspenseful atmosphere of the illustration. Prominently displayed is the title of the story, "The Return of Sherlock Holmes," highlighting the much-anticipated revival of the world’s most famous detective.

This illustration has since become a landmark in the visual history of Sherlock Holmes, cementing Steele’s contribution to the character’s image. The central image from the cover is a particularly notable highlight and remains widely recognized in the market, often sought after by collectors as a defining piece of Holmes’ legacy.
