The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes / Facsimile Edition

Publisher's full brown boards, black lettering on spine. Here are the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle as they first appeared in the famed British magazine The Strand. This periodical was the literary sensation of its time, especially with the publication of the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles (which appears in its entirety in this volume), when eager readers lined up outside the magazine's London offices, waiting for each installment as it came off press. This edition contains 37 short stories, reproduced in complete facsimile (published in individual volumes as "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes", and "The Return of Sherlock Holmes"), plus the complete novel The Hound of the Baskervilles. The original drawings of Sidney Paget are reproduced here -- illustrations as immortal as the stories themselves. Paget produced more than 350 Sherlock Holmes illustrations, and it was his depictions which gave Holmes visual reality for everyone, which projected him throughout the world, and which today still provide the mold of the original hero in production on stage, screen and television. Front hinge sprung at title page, occasional light soiling, else fine; unmarked, tight, and square. The duct jacket is moderately chipped, and has a few small closed tears and two tears with small loss on the rear panel. VERY GOOD/GOOD. . B&W reproductions. Small 4to 9" - 11" tall. 636 pp
