Construction Of The Statue Of Liberty In France, 1884
The picture was taken in 1884 during the construction of the Statue of Liberty. Several workers were involved in constructing this giant-size sculpture, while Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor, was the mastermind behind this massive project. Different construction materials like copper, steel, and cast iron were used in its making.
The statue symbolized the alliance of France and the USA during the American revolution. It was installed in New York City and was unveiled to the public on October 28, 1886. This torch-bearing idol is 151 feet tall. Initially, it was dull brown; after the copper coating turned it green.
