Few stage works toured as long as Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, and this 1899 color lithograph advertises one of the many traveling companies that kept its dramatic version on the road. The poster was printed by the Courier Litho. Co. of Buffalo, New York, a firm that made show bills for touring productions of the period, and it was registered for copyright that year. Its caption, "Rock of ages," points to the well-known hymn, a reminder of how sentimental appeal was used to sell these shows to audiences.
