A large color lithograph from the Courier Litho. Co. of Buffalo, New York, this poster advertises a stage production of *Uncle Tom's Cabin*, the adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel. Around 1899, traveling theatrical companies carried such productions to small towns across the country, and colorful posters like this one were their main form of advertising. Stowe's story of enslaved people and their suffering made it one of the most widely staged plays of the nineteenth century, and its posters show how the story was marketed to popular audiences.
