EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts George Peck's grand revival of Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin, an iconic theatrical production that took place in 1886. The image showcases an elaborate poster advertising the event, with Klaw & Erlanger's name prominently displayed as the booking agents. Uncle Tom's Cabin, written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, was a groundbreaking novel published in 1852 that brought attention to the issue of slavery in the United States. The theatrical adaptation of the story became a cultural phenomenon, with numerous productions touring throughout the country and beyond. George Peck, an accomplished actor and manager, took on the challenge of reviving the production in 1886. His version of Uncle Tom's Cabin was a grand spectacle, featuring a large cast and elaborate sets. The production was a critical and commercial success, playing to packed houses and receiving glowing reviews from critics. The poster for the revival, which is the focus of this photograph, is a testament to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the production. The image of Uncle Tom, with his characteristic shackles and somber expression, is front and center, drawing the viewer's attention. The tagline "George Peck's Grand Revival" emphasizes the scale and importance of the production, while the names of the booking agents, Klaw & Erlanger, add credibility and legitimacy. Overall, this photograph print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of late 19th-century theater and the enduring appeal of Uncle Tom's Cabin as a cultural touchstone.
