Uncle Tom's Cabin Under Big Tent

Prairie City, Iowa, circa 1925

[UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.] Coming Ora Martin, Inc. Uncle Tom's Cabin Under Big Tent. [Prairie City, Iowa, circa 1925.]



A bold, graphic poster advertising a "Big Tent" traveling production of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Although Harriet Beecher Stowe never authorized a stage production of her novel, theatrical versions began appearing almost immediately after publication. And they endured in great varieties for almost a hundred years before finally being eclipsed by the cinema. The Ora Martin troop named here was based in Prairie City and the experience of seeing their performance in the late 1920s was detailed by Edward Morrow. When he saw it, they were no longer performing in the Big Tent as they had lost the manpower to pound in the stakes. See Morrow, "Poor Old Uncle Tom," in Prairie Schooner, Summer 1930, pp.174.



Broadsheet, 710 x 1065mm. Woodtype in red ink on white paper, printed on recto only. The two sides form two posters which could be separated, but are still conjoined here (each leaf folded in quarters, clean tear at top without loss).
