Reichenbach falls Switzerland Poster

Our painting from a photoochrom (c 1890). Reichenbach Falls was used as the deathplace for Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Even though they did fall, and both of them were seen to be dead, Sherlock Holmes returned to Dr. Watson four years later at his home disguised as an old bookseller. This happened in the Short Story "The Adventure of the Empty House." The Reichenbach Falls (Reichenbachfall) are a series of waterfalls on the River Aar near Meiringen in Bern canton in central Switzerland. They have a total drop of 250 m (820 ft). At 90 m (295.2 ft), the Upper Reichenbach Falls is one of the highest cataracts in the Alps. The falls are made accessible by the Reichenbachfall-Bahn funicular railway.
