The game is afoot

Hello and welcome to daily Holmes! Here I will post mainly pictures but also sometimes fun facts, quotes, and more all related to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. This account is just for fun and for me to publicly infodump about and share my love for the original Sherlock Holmes stories. It's run only by me, and isnt automated in any way (only the queue if you count that), so apologies in advance for any missed days or other human errors. Also apologies for any pictures of poor quality; I do my best to find high quality scans of the pictures I post, but sometimes there just aren't any publicly available. If you have a higher quality version of a picture I posted, or just one you want posted here, feel free to send it in via asks, submissions, or messages. My asks are open not only for pictures, feel free to send in any asks you want

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the long absence on this account. I'd been losing steam and motivation for it for a while, so my months long break was inevitable.

However, I would really like to pick this account up again, and that's what I'll be trying to do. Please note that I'm still a college student and as such may miss days during busy times of the school year. And I'm still open to help if anyone wants to help run this account!

Thank you for sticking with me. The game is afoot!

Sherlock's birthday is most commonly celebrated on January 6th. This date was coined by Christopher Morely, founder of the oldest Sherlock Holmes society, The Baker Street Irregulars. He coined this date due to Sherlock mentioning the play Twelfth Night twice in canon (January 6th being the twelfth night of Christmas)

The year of his birth is generally believed to be 1854 or 1853, due to him being stated to be 60 in His Last Bow
