Theatrical Broadside with black and white illustration occupying most of top half. Approximately 22 x 57 cm. Several later horizontal folds. Minor soil and creases at corners. Upper left corner chipped. Harford seems to have been a white editor at Harper's Bazaar, Collier's Weekly and elsewhere. He also was a writer. "The Underground Railroad" seems likely to have been a comedy full of racist humor. We found nothing about this production which may have been a one-off charitable performance. The list of characters lncludes Harriet Beecher Stowe (an authoress), three Winterbottoms (a merchant and his female child Abigail and her brother Ezra), Belle Boyd ,(a spy), Uncle Tom (a celebrated "Darky"), Aunt Jemima (Uncle Tom's consort), Dred Scott (a Cause Celebre), Jim Crow (a Jumper), etc. Actors not identified.
