Rare graphic issue on "Uncle Tom's Cabin"...



Item # 668541

August 02, 1856

THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, England, Aug. 2, 1856  Inside has a nice article: "Dramatic Reading by a Coloured Native of Philadelphia" accompanied by a print of her captioned: "Mrs. Mary E. Webb (A Coloured Native of Philadelphia) Reading 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' in the Hall of Stafford-House".
The facing page has a print of the construction of the clock tower of the Parliament building, now one of the iconic images for London.
This is the only issue we have seen which has a graphic concerning the wildly popular book--even back in the 1850's--"Uncle Tom's Cabin".
Complete in 24 pages with the "Supplement" issue & in excellent condition.
