1852 HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. Uncle Tom's Cabin. Rare Early Impression in Wraps.

A rare survivor of one of the earliest imprints of Uncle Tom's Cabin produced in less expensive "wraps." Because of the near-ephemeral nature of the binding, they rarely turn up on the market. 

Stowe, Harriet Beecher. Uncle Tom's Cabin; Or, Life among the Lowly. Volume II. Seventieth Thousand. Boston. John P. Jewett & Co. Cleveland, Ohio. Jewett, Proctor, & Worthington. 1852. 322pp.

Fair only, in wraps, spine chipped and lifting, sewing extremely tender. For all that, both sides of the wraps present and textually complete. A rare survivor in wraps. Stained at last few leaves of text and catalog.
