An impressively detailed and well composed figure depicting Uncle Tom and Eva from the abolitionist novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin. This figure was produced by the Thomas Parr Factory.
Eva stands next to a seated Tom while he writes on a page. They are modelled atop a naturalistic base. A large gilt bordered title reads:
Eva to Uncle Tom, what funny things you are making there! Tom: "I'm trying to write to my poor old woman, Miss Eva and my little children but, somehow I'm feared I shan't make it out"‘
The figure is in reasonably good restored condition and displays well. Tom’s right hand’s fingers have been professionally restored. There is fairly extensive flaking to Eva’s hair and the base, and the title is faded. It is likely that Tom’s skin has been partially or entirely overpainted.
Reference: A. & N. Harding, Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835 - 1875: Book One, p. 299, fig. 1088
Height: 7.5”
Date: c. 1852
