engraving of Harriet Beecher Stowe from a Daguerreotype<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. We had the pleasure of hearing speaker Philippe Maurice from Alberta back in November, 1996. In issue 17-3 Philippe has an article titled, “The Artist’s Hand – Engravings Based on Daguerreotypes”. This harkens back to Daguerre’s original idea for the photograph – a means to capture a scene for painting his dioramas at leisure.<\/p>\n

At left is an image from the engraving of author, Harriet Beecher Stowe based on the daguerreotype she sat for in a studio.<\/p>\n

Philippe begins speaking about Stowe, “In 1850 Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe (18 11 – 1896) accompanied her husband from Ohio to his new teaching position at Bowdoin College in Maine.<\/p>\n

“That same year Stowe stopped in Boston to visit her brother Henry Ward Beecher. She found him a sympathetic supporter of her strong feelings against human slavery and received encouragement to express her thoughts in writing. Two years later she published Uncle Tom’s Cabin<\/em> which sold 300,000 copies in the first year of publication – 10,000 in the first week – and was ultimately translated into twenty-three languages.<\/p>\n

“Though the book was received with much attention, its reception was (except for abolitionist press) almost uniformly hostile.”<\/p>\n
