Descrizione

8vo., First Edition,with illustrations in the text; attractively bound in full blue buckram, upper board with printed paper label, a near fine copy. FIRST APPEARANCE OF HOLMES IN THE STRAND. Original serial publication from The Strand Magazine, Vol. V, January 1893, complete with Paget's iconic illustrations. Chronologically the second of the second series of twelve Holmes short stories later collected as the 'Memoirs' (1894 [1893]), it was omitted (apparently at Doyle's request) from the first and several subsequent editions due possibly to its theme of adultery; it was not published in book form until 'His Last Bow' (1917). Notably, when the tale was omitted from the 'Memoirs', Doyle transferred Holmes' famous thought-reading episode to the beginning of 'The Resident Patient'. Only one of Paget's illustrations is included in the book version. De Waal 33; see Green & Gibson pp.74-76.
