| Sherlock Holmes |
| (London: Newnes: 1901) A double-sided leaf, apparently the rear wrapper of a publication from which it has been detached, presumably ‘Navy and Army Illustrated’ which is advertised on its verso; format is 270 x 374 mm; it is light olive green in colour and is printed in black. Announces: ‘Sherlock Holmes! “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” another adventure of SHERLOCK HOLMES by A. Conan Doyle …. “The Hound of the Baskervilles” commences in THE STRAND MAGAZINE For August, 1901, and is continued for several months’. A couple of the corners lightly crumpled and consequently creased; a small abrasion with an associated cut but not affecting the print; a mark and a little soiling; a good copy. |
