This is the cover of The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. The title dominates the lower half, with "Sherlock Holmes" in bold, reddish-brown text, and the author’s name, "A. Conan Doyle," beneath it in a smaller, matching font.

At the top, there is a silhouette of Sherlock Holmes seated at a desk, positioned against a window with a grid-like design. The silhouette is in stark black, while the background behind the window is illuminated by a golden-yellow glow. This contrast between the dark figure and the warm light creates a sense of intrigue, evoking the mood of Holmes immersed in one of his investigations. The cover’s overall dark tones contribute to its classic, enigmatic feel.
