Légende
A dream caused by the perusal of Mrs. H. Beecher Stowe's popular work Uncle Tom's Cabin. Satire on Harriet Beecher Stowe and her recently published antislavery novel, the artist has concocted a chaotic vision where armies of demons and other monsters battle in a barren, desert setting reminiscent of the infernal visions of Hieronymus Bosch and Jacques Callot. In the center a leering black man dressed as a Quaker holds a flag Women of England To The Rescue. To the left, near the mouth of a cave marked Underground Railway, Mrs. Stowe is pulled and harassed by demons. She holds up a book that reads, Uncle Tom's Cabin, I Love the Blacks.
