The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a handsome pocket-sized hardcover from the Arcturus Ornate Classics collection. Its bright orange cover features gold-embossed lettering and Sherlock Holmes's unmistakable silhouette. Add gilded page edges, ivory paper, decorative endpapers, and the original Sidney Paget illustrations, and there's quite a lot to admire in this little edition.

Inside are twelve of Holmes and Watson's earliest adventures, including A Scandal in Bohemia, The Red-Headed League, and The Adventure of the Speckled Band. Originally published in The Strand Magazine between 1891 and 1892, these stories helped establish Sherlock Holmes as one of literature's most recognizable detectives.

Something I particularly enjoy about this collection is the artwork. Sidney Paget helped shape the way generations of readers picture Sherlock Holmes, including that famous deerstalker hat. It's a lovely reminder that illustrations can become just as memorable as the stories themselves.

FAQs

WHAT IS A GICLEÉ PRINT?

Giclee printing is currently the highest quality standard for printing single or limited edition prints. The term "giclee"(pronounced "ZHEE-CLAY")is a French word meaning "to spray." Giclee prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink onto archival fine-art substrates. The word "giclee," as a fine-art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant archival pigmented inks printed on archival substrates by professional inkjet printers. Giclee prints represent the highest evolution in printmaking technology. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy and richer depth of color than other means of art reproduction possible.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT ABOUT THE PRINT QUALITY?

A great gicleé print begins with a great image. We proudly use a privately owned giclee printing company founded in 2003 that services the fine art and photography markets. They have gained international recognition with featured articles about their services in Digital Ouput Magazine, Digital Photo Pro Magazine and on the Oprah show. Osio-Brown Editions is one of the original giclee printing studios in the Chicago area and is a preeminent force in the fine art giclee printing industry. Their client list extends throughout the United States, Central & South America and Europe.

WHAT ABOUT FRAMING?

The prints are standard sizes allowing them to be framed easily with stock size frames found in most stores. Custom framing is always a beautiful option but not necessary.

CAN I ORDER AN ORIGINAL AND/OR CUSTOM PIECE OF ARTWORK?
