AQS on a 4.25 x 6.5 sheet tipped by its left edge to the reverse of an early book portrait of Stowe, signed “Harriet Beecher Stowe, April 13, 1894.” A passage captioned in Stowe’s hand “Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Chap. 12.” In full: “Not one throb of anguish, not one tear of the oppressed is forgotten by the Man of Sorrows the Lord of Glory. In His patient generous bosom He bears the anguish of a world.” A central horizontal fold (small split to right edge), and mild soiling and wrinkling, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the address panel from the original mailing envelope, postmarked from Hartford, Connecticut, on the same day.

In the first year following its 1852 publication, 300,000 copies of Uncle Tom’s Cabin were sold in the United States, and the work is credited with aiding the abolitionist cause while also sharpening regional differences and perspectives about slavery. An emotional passage from one of America’s greatest pieces of literature.
