Author of Uncle Tom's Cabin

Also includes an imprint of the, "Reminiscences Of Harriet Beecher Stowe"

(1811-96) Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, she was an abolitionist and author of some 20 books. Her famous 1852 anti-slavery novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin, or, Life Among the Lowly," was a lightning rod that stirred strong feelings in the North against the institution of slavery, while at the same time it provoked widespread anger and hatred in the South. Her father was noted clergyman and temperance leader Lyman Beecher, and her brother was the famous preacher and abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher.

Authentic, 7 x 10, engraved portrait of the noted abolitionist and author, Harriet Beecher Stowe. Seated view with a stack of papers on her lap, and holding a writing implement in her hand. Printed signature below her likeness. From the original painting by Chappel in the possession of the publishers. Johnson, Fry & Co., Publishers, New York. Entered according to act of Congress A.D. 1872, by Johnson, Fry & Co., in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. Minor age toning, and a couple of very small stains at the bottom edge. Excellent likeness of Mrs. Stowe that is suitable for framing. Please note that the wavy lines that you see in the background are not in the original engraving. They were caused by my scanning program. The original portrait that you are buying is extremely sharp and looks nice.
