Before audiences get to know
Benedict Cumberbatch as
'Doctor Strange' on the big screen, it's worth noting that the
British actor was entertaining viewers on the small screen with his enigmatic portrayal of a modern day
'Sherlock Holmes' in the
BBC's Sherlock. In the 2016 special episode, between the show's third and fourth seasons, the infamous detective was transported back to
Victorian England, the time period where
Arthur Conan Doyle's literary creation was originally set.
Original costumes from Sherlock: The Abominable Bride
With a clever plot device,
Sherlock was able to flashback to the past from its contemporary setting, and
Costume Designer Sarah Arthur and
Assistant Costume Designer/Costume Supervisor Ceri Walford were able to dress
Benedict Cumberbatch in the
Baker Street detective's iconic deerstalker hat.
These
Victorian style costumes were photographed on display at the
10th Art of TV Costume Design exhibition at
Downtown L.A.'s FIDM Museum on August 9, 2016.
Plus for another take on the fictional hero's look, be sure to also check out

costume from Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows from 2011.

Sherlock Holmes?
