Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Negro life in the slave states of America, with fifty splendid engravings

Stowe, Harriet Beecher, 1811-1896 · 1852 · London : Clarke & Co. · 5 pictures

An 1852 London edition of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, published by Clarke & Co. for a general readership and illustrated with fifty wood engravings. The pictures are small, dense black-and-white line engravings of interior domestic scenes, street confrontations and figures in period dress, with heavy hatching that gives strong contrast and texture a designer could adapt for dramatic, narrative graphics.
