Il bacio di Francesca e Paolo -- Rodin -- found unsuitable for public display at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago.

Speranza

A bronze version of The Kiss (74 centimetres (29 in) high) was sent for display at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The sculpture was considered unsuitable for general display and relegated to an inner chamber with admission only by personal application.
