Howard Chaykin and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Study in Scarlet”!

Posted on by

The art above is a plate from Howard Chaykin’s 1976 portfolio illustrating Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes in A Study in Scarlet.   You can see a bigger version of the art above and the other illustrations from the portfolio if you click over to The Bristol Board.

Wow!  What great memories this brings back. Artist portfolios were really popular back in the 70’s and into the 80’s.  It was always a thrill when a new one was announced.  And truth be told, I was thrilled to see The Bristol Board posting Chaykin’s Sherlock Holmes portfolio.
