This Sherlock Holmes Inspiration & Writing Journal is part of Natural History Collages' literary journal series—designed for readers who love stories not only for their plots, but for the natural history worlds they contain.
The cover collage draws from the natural imagery threaded through the Holmes canon: moorland creatures, plants, traces, and signs—details that matter when one knows how to look. On the back, a curated list of species drawn from multiple Sherlock Holmes stories serves as a kind of ecological index to Conan Doyle’s world.
Inside, the journal opens with a short sequence of literary excerpts paired with vintage natural history illustrations, each drawn from a different Holmes story. These pairings come from tales including The Hound of the Baskervilles, Silver Blaze, The Naval Treaty, The Adventure of the Speckled Band, His Last Bow, and others—stories in which animals, landscapes, and natural details are never incidental, but quietly essential to plot or theme.
The inside covers feature original late-19th-century illustrations by Sidney Paget, whose drawings shaped the visual identity of Sherlock Holmes for generations of readers.
Following the opening pages, the journal offers 200 lined pages (100 sheets) for your writing, note-keeping, sketching, or careful reflections.
This journal is designed primarily as a writing space; the three illustrated pages at the front are intentionally chosen to explain the imagery on the cover and set the tone, rather than fill the book.
Well suited for:
- Journaling and longform writing
- Reading notes and marginalia
- Creative work and sketching
- Commonplace entries
- Anyone who loves Victorian literature, natural history, or the art of paying attention

- Curated illustrated excerpts at the front, followed by 200 lined pages (100 sheets) for writing
