Item Details

Description

1855 Solomon Northup 1st ed Twelve Years a Slave Slavery Controversy Kidnapping

â€œI could not comprehend the justice of that law, or that religion, which upholds or recognizes the principle of slavery”

- Solomon Northup, Twelve Years a Slave

The harrowing memoir of Solomon Northup, â€œTwelve Years a Slave,” follows his life as a free man in New York who is kidnapped and sold into slavery. He would not find freedom again for twelve years. Northup wrote the story a year after being rescued. He gave a first-person account of life as a slave in the south. This account became widely popular amongst the abolitionist movement and would go on to be portrayed in an Academy Award winning movie with the same title.

This story was met with much opposition and was wildly controversial leading up to the Civil War, with its unabashed accounts of the criminality surrounding slave trade and the harsh living conditions of slaves. This first edition features a charming frontispiece portrait of Solomon Northup, as well as 6 woodcut engraved illustrations throughout. Illustrations included:

Scene in the slave pen at Washington

Separation of Eliza and her last child

Chapin rescues Solomon from hanging

The Staking out and Flogging of the girl Patsey

Scene in the cotton field, and Solomons delivery

Arrival home, and first meeting with His wife and children
