"It would be imposible to overestimate the influence that he exerted upon the thousand who based their conception then-as they still continue to do after sixty years-on his interpretation of the Holmes, Watson, and the foldwn time 'where it is always 1895; From that day to this no characterization, no other mood has been accepted by English readers, and when his untimely death in 1908 necessarily shifted his mantle to other shoulders, the artists who followed him-several of greater skill and reputation-were compelled to sub ordinate themselves to the Paget style in all essential particulars. It has been truly said that what Phiz did for Pickwick, Paget did for sherlock Holmes."

James Montgomery, A Study in Pictures: Being a "Trifling Monograph" on the Iconography of Sherlock Holmes (Philadephia, 1954).
