Litte Eva Song from Uncle Tom's Cabin

John G. Whittier, 1852

[STOWE, Harriet Beecher (1811-1896), WHITTIER, John Greenleaf (1807-1892).] Little Eva Song. Uncle Tom's Guardian Angel. [Boston:] John P. Jewett, 1852.



Broadside, 322 x 300mm on white linen (light to moderate stains).



A scarce textile broadside advertisement for Uncle Tom's Cabin bearing a vignette of Eva reading the bible to Uncle Tom "in the arbor," together with the melody, composed by Manuel Emilio, and part of the lyrics by John G. Whittier. The border is festooned with a floral motif with angelic figures and banners extolling the success of the Beecher's novel: "Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, is a Picture of American Slavery not overdrawn, since Southern Publications themselves give as facts accounts of characters and incidents fully matching anything this work presents – 115,000 or 230,000 vols. have been sold in 6 months. Jewett & Co. Publishers." Threads of History, 233; Currier, Whitter, p. 574.
