(UNCLE TOM'S CABIN). [PARSONS & POOL]. COMING SOON! Parsons & Pool's Original Uncle Tom's Cabin and Tennessee Jubilee Singers [caption title]. [Providence RI, ca 1879-1880]. Broadside, 24 x 9? inches. Professionally matted, sealed in protective film. Fine Library Company, Afro-Americana (2nd edition Supplement) 1655. OCLC 40817572, 701755423. Locating only seven copies in OCLC. An uncommon illustrated broadside for a performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin, with woodcuts showing scenes from the book. Also advertised are the Tennessee Jubilee Singers, who regularly performed with the Parsons and Pool's troupe. Although Harriet Beecher Stowe never officially sanctioned a stage interpretation of her novel, theatrical versions of Uncle Tom's Cabin were wildly popular with American audiences during the entire second half of the 19th century and into the early 1900s. These "Tom Shows" existed in scores of different iterations, from moralizing melodramas to blackface burlesques, and were a staple of the traveling show circuit.
