The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Arthur Conan Doyle - First Edition, First State, 1892.
The true first edition, first impression of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Arthur Conan Doyle. Compiled from its initial serial publication in ‘Strand Magazine’ by George Newnes, this edition is notable for its front cover vignette, which mirrors the Strand's cover design.
Unique to this true first impression is the misprint "Miss Violent Hunter" on page 317, and the blank street sign in the cover vignette. While the textual misprint persisted in several subsequent impressions, the cover vignette was amended in the second (1893) and third (1894) impressions to include "Southampton Street".
A good copy, with shelf wear and wear to corners. The boards are pulling away internally, as photographed, by the pages are firm.
