The Living Room at 221B... the chemistry desk

Photograph of the chemistry desk at 221B Baker Street (1951 exhibition)

'Holmes had been seated for some hours in silence with his long, thin back curved over a chemical vessel in which he was brewing a particularly malodorous product. His head was sunk upon his breast, and he looked from my point of view like a strange, lank bird, with dull gray plumage and a black top-knot.'
