Work Description
This is a bound edition of the first 6 issues of "The Strand Magazine: An Illustrated Monthly". Beginning with its first issue for January 1891, the magazine would last 711 issues, ending its circulation on March 1950. Its most famous contribution, is the series of 'Sherlock Holmes' short stories that began to appear in July 1891. Each issue of the magazine had its pages numbered so that January-June made up one volume, July then started at page one again and both June and December ended with a index of their volume. Each volume was bound by the publisher every six months, 'Unwin Brothers' for the first three volumes, and then 'George Newnes Limited', from Vol. IV onward. It also had two short lived sister magazines the first titled 'The Strand Musical Magazine,' Edited by E. Hatzfel, which began in Janurary 1895, and second titled 'The Sunday Strand', that lasted from January 1900 to June 1910, before being incorporated into "The Woman at Home".
