“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” Inscribed Book by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe signed and inscribed copy of her incendiary work “Uncle Tom’s Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly.” Published by Houghton, Osgood and Company, The Riverside Press: Boston: 1879. The “Holiday Edition,” inscribed and signed by the author in pencil on a preliminary leaf, “Very truly yours / H. B. Stowe / Bay View House / Aug. 16 1879.” A specially-designed reinvention of the book with the first appearance of Stowe’s 31-page introduction in which she describes the book’s creation. Octavo hardcover runs 529 pages, profusely illustrated with 106 illustrations in the text, some full-page; additionally, a stereoview showing Stowe’s residence is laid in. Publisher’s three-quarter dark brown morocco over marbled boards with gilt titles and rules, and all edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Text bordered in red. Housed in a red cloth clamshell case with a red leather spine label lettered in gilt. Binding and corners rubbed. Binding somewhat shaken with rear hinge detached. Front hinge starting.

Harriet Beecher Stowe Signed “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” — Also Includes Rare Inscribed Biblical Verse by Stowe

“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” signed and inscribed by Harriet Beecher Stowe dated 29 July 1893. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Company: 1893. Inscribed on the flyleaf, “Warren G. Kittredge with the best wishes / of his friend / Harriet Beecher Stowe / July 29 1893 / He that is faithful in that / which is least is faithful / also in much / Luke 16,10.” The Bible quote ties in with the sentiments Stowe writes of in Chapter XVII “The Freeman’s Defense”. The elderly Simeon encourages George with a quote from Psalms, and says “…it is often those who have least of all in this life whom He chooseth for the kingdom. Put thy trust in Him, and, no matter what befalls thee here, He will make all right hereafter.” Stowe’s signature is dark and clear. 566pp. hardcover has wear around edges and spine. Inside pages are heavily toned around edges, but very good condition otherwise. Front end papers with inscription are separated from binding. Small tear and crease along the right edge of the flyleaf just touching “that” and “faithful” of inscribed Biblical verse without any affect on legibility. In good condition. Sold for $3,000.
