| Summary: | "Notices of Powers [sic] Work", a nineteenth-century scrapbook in the collection of the Archives of American Art (Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC) is filled with newspaper clippings detailing the acclaim given to Hiram Powers’s Greek Slave sculptures (second and third versions) during their North American tour in 1847–51. Mounted chronologically, the notices relate the story of the marbles’ arrival and generally positive public reception in various cities. They culminate in press detailing the arrival of the second copy to a controversial owner, James Robb of New Orleans. This article considers the origin of the Greek Slave tour scrapbook and the pro-Powers narrative constructed therein, balancing that narrative with contrasting evidence from other primary sources. |
