Uncle Tom's cabin : a tale of life among the lowly

Stowe, Harriet Beecher, 1811-1896 · 1905 · London : S.W. Partridge · 3 pictures

Uncle Tom's Cabin is a 1905 illustrated novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in London by S.W. Partridge for a general reading public. The three pictures are wood-engraved scenes printed as full-page plates, with the rotated pages showing figures in period dress in interiors and outdoor settings. A designer could take from them the dense crosshatched tonal style, the crowded domestic staging, and the captioned plate layout typical of Victorian book illustration.
