Acquired by J.R. Delamar at auction, New York, 1913

In 1913 a further sale of the Hilton art collection was held at the Anderson Art Galleries, New York, which included the remainder of the unsold Stewart statues. The Greek Slave was acquired for $1,250 by Joseph Raphael Delamar (1843–1918) of New York and Long Island, who also purchased other Stewart statues, including Harriet Goodhue Hosmer’s Zenobia. (See Martina Droth’s essay.) Delamar (whose name was sometimes spelled De Lamar or DeLamar) was a businessman who had made his fortune in the mining industry.
