Catalogue information
Die-cut contour booklet about girl Topsy (a character from Uncle Tom's De Negerhut). Various stories and verses in rhyme. Illustrations in color lithographs and black and white. In this American edition no names of author and illustrator are mentioned (in the English edition they are). According to info tuckdbephemera, Brundage made the colored and Taylor the unsanctioned illustrations. "There as a little nigger girl, with face as black as cole, and many a little woolly curl, she grew upon her poll. Her teeth were white as driven snow, her eyes were liquid drops, see? In fair Kentucky did she ' grow' - her Christian name was Topsy". Although Topsy is a character from Uncle Tom's Cabin, this booklet does not contain any reference to this book. Booklet was first published in England by publisher Raphael Tuck. In this American edition, the names of the author and illustrator have been omitted (possibly for financial reasons). Published in Spain as 'La Negrita Topsy' by Editora Hernando y Compañía - Madrid.
