4th public exhibition of the Greek Slave: April 1848

             Miner Kellogg, in charge of overseeing the exhibition of the Greek Slave, described Carroll Hall as "the finest room in America...filled with cushioned sofas for 400 persons. The statue never looked so well—like a queen on a throne" (qtd. Wunder 228). Though the exhibit opened to more attention than it had in New York or Washington, D.C., it suffered from competition with another form of entertainment popular in Baltimore at the time—burlesque shows—and, ultimately, Kellogg decided Baltimore was "too small a place to keep the statue long" (qtd. Wunder 228).
