Auction History Result m119 UNCLE TOM'S CABIN #1 21x28 theater movie poster '20s Date Sold 10/11/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Movie Poster (measures 21" x 28") (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 this poster has a great image of the black African-American slave girl Topsy being confronted by her white owner, and also inset images at the top left and right of both Abraham Lincoln and Harriet Beecher Stowe! ALSO NOTE: In this case, the #1 in the title of this sale is not the style of the poster. In this case, the styles from this particular set of posters were not labeled, but because we are selling more than one poster from this title this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate between them, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, etc. Condition: very good. The poster was dry-mounted on to a board backing, likely prior to framing. It appears the poster was in really excellent condition prior to backing, with a pinhole near the top of the right blank border, a few minor border defects, and a few faint scuffs within the image.
