De Waal World Bibliography #4820. *'Julian Wolff, who became head of the Baker Street Irregulars in 1960, created an attractive and imaginative series of canonical locations, some of which originally appeared in Edgar W. Smith's 'Baker Street and Beyond', other in 'The Baker Street Journal'. In 1984 they were collected and printed as 'The Sherlockian Atlas'. They depict London, England, Europe, the United States, Dartmoor and other significant sites, including a layout of the interior of 221B Baker Street. In the 1960s Wolff also hand-coloured a set for Lord Donegall, editor of 'The Sherlock Holmes Journal', who had them printed as Christmas Cards. These cards are now highly collectible, as are the original maps.' [The Sherlock Holmes Miscellany, Roger Johnson, Jean Upton]. Item #141902
