“…9 The nineteenth century witnessed an explosion of printed material, most of which took advantage of new technology in order to print illustrations: aside from the cheap broadside, which catered mainly towards a working-class readership, illustrative annuals and gift books became popular to give to adults and children as a Christmas present, reward or a keepsake. 10 Antislavery juvenile literature in particular increased from the early 1800s, following the rising abolitionist movement. Quaker publishers such as Harvey and Darton published at least eight books dedicated to the subject between 1823 and 1826, including Amelia Opie's Black Man's Lament.…”

Formerly enslaved African American Josiah Henson is well-known for his association with the character of Uncle Tom from Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Published in 1852, the literary phenomenon sold millions of copies throughout the nineteenth century, and also made a hero of Henson, who marketed his connection with the novel to great acclaim. However, Henson's visit to Britain in 1876-1877, his revised edition of his narrative, and the accompanying book The Young People's Illustrated Edition of Uncle Tom's Story of His Life (1877) has received scant attention from scholars. This article will be the first to discuss The Young People's Edition in detail, and how John Lobb, Henson's benefactor, marketed Henson and his literary work, which demonstrated not only the struggles Black authors faced in a white supremacist environment, but also how activists like Henson managed to retain some sense of authorship over their work.
