Illustrated edition of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s classic antebellum novel on Southern plantation slave life, first published in 1852. This fine press edition from 1938 is beautifully bound and embellished with 16 full-page illustrations by Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias (1904–1957). The edition is limited to 1500 copies signed by Covarrubias. “The impact of Uncle Tom’s Cabin on the conscience of the nation, already tender from the outrages of the Fugitive Slave Law, was such that when Stowe came to the White House in 1862, Abraham Lincoln is said to have greeted her with the words, ‘So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war.’” (ANB)
