*** About Statue of Liberty

*** The Statue of Liberty, a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, was designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. A gift from France to the United States, the statue serves as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. Standing at over 305 feet from the base to the torch, it features a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence. The statue's design and symbolism draw heavily on the values of Enlightenment ideals and have made it a powerful and enduring icon of the United States and the ideals it represents.
