Holmes - His Last Bow Car Rush

Description

I'm actually pretty glad with this one. :D

I had three major inspirations for it:
1. The Holmes story "His Last Bow" where Holmes and Watson arrest a German baddie in the beginning of WW1
2. Russian Holmes' final episode with goatee!Holmes and uniform!Watson (and phone!cuddling)
3. And mostly: This picture by the Finnish national artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela from 1907.
"Bil aktie Bol" is Swedish (Gallen's mother tongue, the second official in Finland) and means "Car inc."

(and yeah, I used reference for the car and the uniform - for once)

The German "baddie" in the story is Heinrich Von Bork, who has been operating a spy ring in Britain that Holmes infitrated.  In revealing himself to Von Bork, he mentions (among others) the "late King of Bohemia" and Irene Adler.
