LIBERTY
ENLIGHTENING THE WORLD
(The Statue of Liberty) SOLD
OUT
America’s
most famous symbol of democracy and beacon of refuge for
immigrants was given by France in 1884 as a gesture of friendship.
Reaching 305 feet above Bedloe Island’s Fort Wood, Lady
Liberty was created in copper repoussee (hammered over a
mold) by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi on an iron framework
designed by Alexsandre Gustave Eiffel.
The
Statue has greeted generations of immigrants as they streamed
into New York harbor enroute to a new life in a new land.
Today, with torch held high, “Liberty Enlightening the
World” embraces all people with dignity, a promise of
opportunity, and hope for the future. |
