Life Cast of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Hand, 1896
1896
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
Harriet Beecher Stowe is best known for her 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. The story tells of the trials of a slave family seeking freedom. It challenged many Americans' view of slavery and stoked the fires of the anti-slavery movement. A plaster cast of her hand -- used for this sculpture -- was made in 1896 a month before her death.
