Pic: Richard Wagner, Sherlock Holmes and Oscar Wilde plush dolls
These dolls are at the shop at the State Library of Queensland. I was reading on http://www.tvtropes.com that this well-known image of Sherlock Holmes is a big mistake: Holmes was a stylish gentleman and these are outdoor clothes. The article said he would never wear clothes like this in London, it would have looked as silly as someone wearing high-visibility orange work gear to a formal black-tie dinner today.
