Uncle Tom and his Wife for Sale.
Painted by Sir Edwin Landseer engraved by Charles Mottram.
Published by Henry Graves & Compy. Sept 20th. 1860. Printsellers to the Queen__6 Pall Mall. Under: New York Published by M.Knoedler Broadewar Septr 20th 1860 and Entered according to Act of Congress in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of United States of the Southern Districk of New York.
Mixed method engraving, 645 x 810 mm (25½x 31¾") with large margins. Laid on linen. Time staining and nicks to edges of paper.
The painting was shown at the Academy in 1857. Two pug dogs sitting on a step, chained to a doorpost behind, one at right with its tongue out as the other turns towards them, a smoking cigar butt and half-eaten apple discarded in the foreground. "Uncle Tom and his Wife for sale,'' showed that Landseer had occupied some of his time during his trip to the United States in reading a now almost-forgotten United States novel. Landseer was affected by the plight of the North American Slave. "Uncle Tom" is a dog of humble breeding and sturdy constitution; he has been brought to the market for sale, and is chained to his wife, for whom a similar fate is purposed. The best part of the picture was the tearful look of the wife at the dog of her heart. This was a master- piece wherein Sir Edwin often triumphed — the humanizing of animal expression, or rather, the animalization of human expression.
