Antique Uncle Tom’s Cabin Book for Altered Art, Mixed Media, Junk Journals

A beautifully timeworn antique copy of Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, dating to the late 19th century (March 1896 reference inside).

This piece is being sold for creative reuse rather than as a collectible due to its condition.

The worn cloth cover features a charming illustrated design and would make a stunning base for an altered book project, while the aged pages are perfect for collage, mixed media, journaling, or background texture work.
