The Strand Magazine was a monthly British magazine founded by George Newnes, composed of short fiction and general interest articles It was published in the United Kingdom from January 1891 to March 1950, running to 711 issues, though the first issue was on sale well before Christmas 1890 Its immediate popularity is evidenced by an initial sale of nearly 300,000 Sales increased in the early months, before settling down to a circulation of almost 500,000 copies a month, which lasted well into the 1930s Among the many interesting articles in the volume is a study of the evolution of the signatures of Charles Dickens over his lifetime. This volume is good in the publisher's original blue cloth with gilt titles on the spine and black blind-stamped title and illustration on the front cover. Both hinges are cracked (it is a very heavy book) but the binding is holding. Minor scuffing and wear to the cover. There is a water stain at the top of the rear cover, and some of the pages in the rear of the book show wrinkling and slight water staining from past moisture. Slight scattered foxing.
