Fresh from our new Sherlockian artist's fertile brain!

Here we have the struggle at Reichenbach depicted in a new and exciting way. The center image is a full-color photograph of the real Reichenbach Falls superimposed on a map of Switzerland. This central photograph is flanked with the familiar silhouettes of Holmes and Moriarty symbolically striving for the summit of The Falls. The legend names the falls and the canonical case in which it was most important. The entire print has been brought to life by our artist through a genuine 8-color giclée print rendered on archival quality paper with archival quality ink - true gallery quality. The multiple shadings and subtle hues add a remarkable three-dimensional, vividness to the work - the image actually appears to be hovering above the surface of the paper upon which it is printed. Each print measures 13" by 19" and is personally signed by the artist!!

Jeremy Brett! Basil Rathbone! Plus 15 more actors who have played Sherlock Holmes appear to emerge from this amazing, large 13" by 19" art print!

There are several reasons why this art is so special. First, is the content. Shown here are the likenesses of 17 of the actors who have played Holmes on stage, on radio, in the movies and, on TV including our most beloved Jeremy Brett and Basil Rathbone. Next, is the technology which allows us to bring these images to you. The beauty and brilliance of a giclée print is brought to life by our artist and his use of archival quality paper and archival quality ink. The multiple shadings and subtle hues add a remarkable, and almost three-dimensional, vividness to the work. Then there is the price. Through a special arrangement with our artist we are able to bring these amazing prints to you at a more affordable price than one usually finds associated with giclée prints. Imagine the visages of all the theatrical Sherlock Holmeses actually emerging from a convex Victorian mirror and you have an image of what to expect from this magnificent print. The background consists of replicated printings of all the actors' names with one replication for each actor being highlighted in a gold color. It is not possible to describe, fully, with the use of mere words how stunning these prints are. Each print measures 13" by 19" and is personally signed by the artist!! Accompanying each print is a small "key" which identifies each actor by name. This wonderful art could be displayed in your home or your office or, of course, that special Sherlockian room or area.

Holiday Greeting Cards!

(Sorry, sold out)
"A well-played violin is a treat for the gods ., . ." and so is this Holiday greeting card (left above)! The art for this exquisite card was rendered, especially for Classic Specialties, by Mr. Phil Cornell, eminent Australian Sherlockian artist. When we saw Mr. Cornell's subtle use of texture and hues in this poignant rendering, we simply could not reduce the work to a single color or even a duo-tone. So we said, "Hang the cost! We want the Sherlockian Community to see this work in a form as close to Mr. Cornell's original as we can make possible." We are sure that you will appreciate his talents as fully as we do. The cards are remarkable and lovely showing Mr. Holmes accompanying a few of the Baker Street Irregulars as they carol on the Victorian street. This outstanding full-color graphic is printed on heavy, glossy card stock measuring 5.5 by 4.25 inches, and contain appropriate Sherlockian Holiday greetings both on the front and on the inside. Delivered in packs of 8cards with envelopes. (FYI the middle "Irregular" is a likeness of the artist's son, Young James!)

Whimsical Holiday Greeting Card

For those who like a bit of whimsy with their Holiday greetings, artist Phil Cornell has provided another splendid Holmesian illustration for your Holiday pleasure (right above). Although there is no record in the Canon of Holmes and Watson's ever exchanging presents, Sherlockians are an imaginative lot and a little humor cannot fail to brighten the holiday season. We'd like to point out that this is the first time we have ever offered two holiday greeting card designs during the same season - artist Phil Cornell's work charmed us so that we couldn't help but see to it that you got to see both of his designs. Not only were we charmed by Mr. Cornell's art, but we were also impressed with his Sherlockian erudition which is apparent in this card (examine its details carefully!). Cards measure 5.5 by 4.25 inches; printed in "Carbuncle" blue ink on heavy, glossy card stock, appropriate holiday greeting inside, delivered in packs of 10 cards with envelopes.
