Why You’ll Love It
An exceptional complete four-volume miniature edition of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles, one of the most celebrated Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Barbara Raheb’s miniature interpretation divides the complete story across four matching volumes, each filled with pages of readable text. Numbered #206 of only 300 sets, the books are bound in black pyroxylin with extensive gilt detailing. The front covers feature a gilt profile portrait of Sherlock Holmes within a circular medallion, while the spines have gilt title lettering.
A rare, retired, and wonderfully dramatic set for a miniature library, gentleman’s study, mystery-themed room, or serious Barbara Raheb collection.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
