FIRST APPEARANCE OF HOLMES IN THE STRAND AND THE APPARENT DEATH OF HOLMES. Original serial publication from The Strand Magazine, Vol. VI, December 1893, complete with Paget's iconic illustrations, although sadly his immortal image of Holmes and Moriarty at Reichenbach does not appear here; it was first published as frontispiece to the 'Memoirs'. Chronologically the last of the second series of twelve Homes short stories, but the eleventh when the tales were collected as the 'Memoirs' (1894 [1893]) due to the omission of 'The Cardboard Box' at Doyle's request.
