Machiavelli 0 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Here I have for sale a first illustrated UK edition of the classic uncle Tom's cabin. This book was published in 1852 by John Cassell, London. The book also contains 27 beautiful illustrations by Cruikshank. The book is in good condition for its age, everything is still firmly held in place; however, there is slight foxing to some of the pages. "In the emotion-charged atmosphere of mid-ninteenth-century America Uncle Tom's Cabin exploded like a bombshell. To those engaged in fighting slavery it appeared as an indictment of all the evils inherent in the system they opposed; to the pro-slavery forces it was a slanderous attack on 'the Southern way of life.' Whatever its weakness as a literary work - structural looseness and excess of sentiment among them - the social impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the United States was greater than of any book before or since." Price: £250 If anyone is interested, let me know and I will post some pictures! Link to post Share on other sites
