In it's packed pages, a plentiful plethora of pleasing pictures plus a few Pagets(sorry). An imaginative, intriguing itemized index of iconic illuminated images. In truth it's quite nice and big and will sit very well next to it's slightly smaller volume 1 brother, I am hoping for a big family as volume after volume take over your homes and you are forced to move to ever bigger houses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnswer me this, why do weather people always tell you about yesterday's weather, you lived through it after all, now in the last volume, we did have a persistent downpour of Paget throughout the book, with intermittent glimpses of Greig and Friston on some pages. This book is a more homogeneous effort, while there are some Paget images, they are more like a drizzle than a Wet Monsoon (there is such a thing as a Dry Monsoon, I never knew that). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have all the Sherlock Holmes images from 6 International Artists, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting with the prolific German Artist, Richard Gutschmidt, both his signed works as well as his unsigned ones making a pleasing total of 228 illustrations and taking the prize as Page Hogger, as Paget did in Volume 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNext, we travel across the seas to America, where Graham Grinham drew 6 illustrations for the St. Louis Star, a small number admittedly, but he had a very unique style. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridging the Gap between the Americas and Europe, we next have Canadian born George Wylie Hutchinson, who travelled to England as a cabin boy before producing 42 Sherlock Holmes images for the Book versions of A Study in Scarlet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStaying in England, we have Arthur Twidle and his 17 images. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Irish Born, American Artist Thomas Jeffs Nicholl. with his 33 Sherlock Holmes newspaper images (hence the quality). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, we go back to Europe again for French Cartoonist Raymond Pallier and his Hound of the Baskerville 108 image epic work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf my maths is correct that means there are 434 \u003cstrong\u003enew\u003c\/strong\u003e images here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 458\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 20, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42707215646783,"sku":"9781787059252","price":69.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ce8a70ad38e88a7540bdf0bee4d589bc.webp?v=1765043218","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/sherlock-holmes-a-study-in-illustrations-volume-2-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
