Listen "38 - Photography"
Episode Synopsis
"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.
