The Case of the Missing JPGs


Today we are sending The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes out the cyber door. As much as I love Holmes and Watson, they overstayed their welcome on our drafting board. One of the challenges that this text presented is that the original drawings by Sidney Paget are surprisingly difficult to find in high quality on the internet. Sure the drawings abound in poor resolution on thousands of sites. And high quality ones aren't hard to come by either, if you're ready to pay. But we aren't trying to decorate the office with a framed litho of the drawings, we're trying to put them into an electronic book so that they look like a real book.

Ultimately, the pictures came out looking terrific, check out some shady dealings:
