A mid-nineteenth-century American novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in Boston and Cleveland in 1853 for a general readership opposed to slavery. Its pictures are small black-and-white wood engravings of domestic parlours, a crowded deck and a bedroom scene, with dense hatched shading and loose figures a designer could study for period interiors, clothing and crowd composition.
