Description:

Here is Sherlock Holmes as he’s never been seen before: all four novels and fifty-six stories with an introduction and notes by Dr. Mary Eichbauer of Stanford University’s Discovering Sherlock Holmes Project. This ebook includes over 900 illustrations, 200 in full color—it could never have been published in print. Here are the gloomy, deeply moving original illustrations by Sidney Paget, the darker, more modern drawings of Frederic Dorr Steele, and the occasional art by other contemporary illustrators. Here, too, are the original magazine covers from The Strand in London and Colliers in America, as well as book covers from around the world, contemporary paintings, birdseye maps of London at the time, and even a map of the Underground. See Sherlock in all his disguises. Study for yourself the dancing men, the floor plan of 221B Baker Street, a map of the Baskerville moors, a postcard from the Hôtel du Sauvage at Reichenbach Falls, a drawing of the Bruce-Partington submarine, Holmes’ diagram of the crime scene at the Priory School, the position of the professor’s study in the Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez, and the photograph of Irene Adler that Sherlock requested as his only fee for saving the King’s marriage. Follow Holmes and Watson down the boulevards and back alleys of Victorian London, see what they saw, and marvel again at adventures of the greatest detective who ever lived. (1.02)
