Winston's International Publishing Co. Edition
Despite the claim on the title page, and the warning printed on the
copyright page that "The Illustrations in this book are all from Original
drawings made expressly for it, and any one reproducing them in any form will be
prosecuted," the 107 illustrations were in fact made for a Swedish edition
of Stowe's novel, published in 1895 in Goteborg by T. Hedlund. Though signed
only in this edition by the initials "J.N," they are the work of artist Jenny
Nystrom-Stoopendaal. While almost certainly drawn in Sweden, some of them, at least, seem influenced by E. W.
Kemble's 1892 illustrations (compare his Prue, for example, to
hers).
This "International Publishing Co." edition was brought out by John
C. Winston of Philadelphia in 1897, who also reprinted the Swedish version that
same year. The illustrations were engraved by "Gaillard, aut." You can see any
