Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1903 [the 1st edition of this translation was Estes and Lauriat, 1880; the French first edition was in 1869]. Very Good to Near Fine cloth, w/o dustwrapper. Four inserted illustration plates by Bayard Jones (1869-1969), who was born in Georgia, studied in France at the Academie Julian with Benjamin Jean-Joseph Constant, worked as a periodical and book illustrator in New York, and was a member of the Society of Illustrators. Napoleonic murder mystery. Silent movie adaptations were released in 1914 and 1915 (not known to survive), and a television version in 1975 in the anthology series "Les grands detectives." Gaboriau is still well regarded as a pioneering founder of detective fiction; as there was not yet a detective category of publishing he was called the leading "sensation" novelist, after the sensationalist content, and was often called "the Edgar Allan Poe of France." He preceded Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, and Doyle clearly took some pointers from Gaboriau. His international fame held for many years, but then the overwhelming popularity of Holmes caused a decline of interest in Lecoq.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. GABORIAU, Émile (1832-1873). The Works of Émile Gaboriau: The Mystery of Orcival; The Widow Lerouge; File No. 113; The Honor of the Name; Monsieur Lecoq; Other People's Money. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1903 and 1905. ILLUSTRATED EDITIONS. Six volumes, five with title pages dated 1903; The Mystery of Orcival dated 1905. Octavo (8vo.). Publisher's original red cloth, spines lettered and decorated in gilt. Frontispieces with tissue guards and full-page plates, with illustrations by W. Glackens, Bayard Jones, Jules Guerin, Victor Perard, and Louise Heustis. Translated from the French. A collection of Gaboriau's pioneering crime fiction, including the principal novels featuring his celebrated police detective Monsieur Lecoq; in this edition, The Honor of the Name completes the two-part Lecoq narrative. Gaboriau expanded Poe's brief analytical tale into the sustained, novel-length investigation, employing physical evidence, interrogation, disguise, and the methodical reconstruction of events. His work forms an important link between Poe's C. Auguste Dupin and Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes; Conan Doyle acknowledged the influence of Gaboriau's carefully constructed plots. Contents generally clean. Bindings sound, with light wear to corners and spine ends; three volumes square, the other three with a slight lean. The Mystery of Orcival has scattered soiling to the cloth and an ink stain affecting the margins of pp. 359-376 and the endpapers; File No. 113 has very small chips to the page corners on pp. 191-203; Monsieur Lecoq has a small closed tear to the spine cloth and scattered small stains to the boards. Overall Very Good minus, with individual volumes ranging from Good plus to Very Good plus.
