dduane: mugenmine: The first manuscript page from Sir Arthur…
The first manuscript page from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s second Sherlock Holmes story is returning to London after an absence of more than a century.
The handwritten manuscript from The Sign of Four in 1889 is said to be one of the rarest items known to enthusiasts of the fictional detective.
Sir Arthur’s leaf of paper is the earliest manuscript page of the famous author’s Holmes collection to be sent to publishers and printed verbatim. (x)
Such marvelous handwriting…
Heh.

Tags: this is so cool, and the erroneous possessive just makes it better, it's like the scene in The Paper Chase when Hart gets off on Kingsfield's student doodles.
