Auction History Result 9r164 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN 21x28 stage poster 1900s stone litho of Eliza's escape from the tavern! Date Sold 10/10/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Stage Play Poster (measures 21" x 27 3/4" [53 x 70 cm]) (Learn More) Uncle Tom's Cabin, the circa 1900s stage play adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's classic novel, which helped bring about the end of slavery and the Civil War, thanks to its depiction of the cruel treatment of African American slaves in the South. Note that we have seen posters from this stage play production that were dated from 1890 to 1930s. Posters from any stage production of Uncle Tom's Cabin are incredibly difficult to accurately date (unless they are dated, of course, but virtually none are). This is because there were endless stage productions of this play from 1890 on, all over the U.S. We have no doubt that companies would print posters that local touring companies would order, which would explain why they rarely had any credits of any kind, no doubt so they could be used by any touring company. So please keep in mind the possible wide dating range when bidding. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned a few different styles of stage posters for adaptations of Stowe's classic novel and most have an inset image in the upper corners of President Abraham Lincoln and author Harriet Beecher Stowe (like the poster offered here). This poster has a great image of the black African-American slave Uncle Tom, along with the little girl Eliza and we have not auctioned this particular style of poster in 14 years! Condition: fair to good. The poster has significant creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges (two of the tears are approximately 9" at upper right and lower left and those two tears are repaired with clear tape from the back). The other tears are repaired with white tape from the back and some of them are touched up along portions of the upper edge with marker. There is some discoloration at right center. Still, despite these defects, the poster's artwork is mostly "all there" and after a linenbacking with proper restoration it would look great (but please bear in mind its defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid.)
