Two advertisements for the sale of Uncle Tom's Cabin...



Item # 706004

May 27, 1852

THE NATIONAL ERA, Washington, D.C., May 27, 1852  The back page has not one, but two advertisements for the sale of: "Uncle Tom's Cabin". One ad begins: "A constant supply of this most interesting work will be kept for sale..." and the other begins: "Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's Great Story, first published in the 'National Era' and now just issued in two handsome volumes..." with more. Also in this issue is a page 2 article: "Uncle Tom's Cabin - Its History" which is very descriptive and takes half a column.
The "National Era" was the newspaper which introduced the famed "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to the world, being serialized in this newspaper before the published book was available.
Four pages, never-bound nor trimmed, foxing mostly near the top, irregular at some blank margins.
