Date of Shaw bust?

Wikipedia's article on Robert Shaw, as well as a couple of other online sources, give the date of Lewis' bust of Shaw as 1864, not 1867. Any source on the later date? I don't want to make this change without asking, since I'm not an expert on this or any related subject. Iralith 15:59, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lewis made and sold 100 plaster copies of her Shaw bust in 1864 in Boston. She sailed for Italy the next year with commissions to put Shaw and other portraits in marble. See http://www.edmonialewis.com/chronology.htm

If I recall correctly, there were two versions of the Shaw bust, one in 1864 and one in 1867. I'll have to check my extensive references on the subject when I get home. cbustapeck 16:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mixed race?

"American sculptor of mixed race (African, Ojibwe and Haitian)" is pretty awkward in that none of the three is considered a "race". "Mixed ethnicity" would probably be best. 76.112.232.174 (talk) 04:16, 13 September 2012 (UTC)corneliusdetroit[reply]
