Author most famous for the anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Very rare AQS on a 6.25 x 8 off-white album page. Quote reads in full, “Not one throb of anguish, Not one tear of the oppressed, Tis forgotten by the Man of Sorrows the Lord of Glory. In his patient generous bosom, He bears the anguish of a world. Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Chap. 12th.” Signed at the conclusion, “Harriet Beecher Stowe, Feby, 9th, 1894.” Stowe’s quote concerns the riverboat trip on which slave trader Haley conducted Tom and other slaves to be sold as plantation hands. At Louisville, Haley sells Lucy’s baby, who was devastated at the loss of her child and commits suicide by jumping into the Ohio River. Tom witnessed her suicide and the above passage follows after the incident. Some mild toning and wrinkling and some light spotting along left edge, otherwise fine condition. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
