Someone should write an article about the Greek Slave.

I was thinking that the list of his works could be better shown as a bullet list with two columns. Filious (06/02/07 7:15am EST)

[edit] Photographic portrait of Powers

I have reverted to the older, c. 1839 image of Hiram Powers with the bust of the Greek Slave. My reason is that it is older, not as digitally massaged as the image in oval form, and does not carry the contemporary advertisement for Risorgimento's Lombardi Historical Collection. This advertisement is not an orignal part of the c. 1863 image. Any credit given to this collection should appear in the image summary, not on the image itself. Please review Wikipedia policy on self-promotion, advertising, and SPAM. Thanks. CApitol3 18:20, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
