Description:
Extremely old copy of the Classic book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" By Harriet Beecher Stowe. Original 1st. publishing of Uncle Tom's Cabin was in 1852. (158 years ago) This is NOT a 1st edition.I do not understand when this particular book was printed due to the fact that there is no copyright date or print date in this book, so that informs me it is quite old, however once more ... it is NOT a first edition. What I do understand is this:.It was offered as a gift to a guy, Dr. John V. Shankweiler, who was a professor at Muhlenberg College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and was signed and dated by the giver.It is dated, March 17, 1911. I have actually researched the publishers, Hurst & Company in New York.That publishing company was begun in the very early 1800's but was purchased out by a various publishing company in 1890 and at that time the name was altered. The trademark & date in it, marks it at minimum 103 years old (in March 2014). The fact that the business did not exist after 1890 makes it minimum 123 years of ages, but it could be much older than that.There is no other details about it or the publishing business that I might discover. It is in very excellent condition for it's age. As you can see in the bottom photo the binding is in near best condition. $95.00 OBO.Call Wende.show contact details.or.show contact details.
