*** About Statue of Liberty

*** The Statue of Liberty, a formidable symbol of freedom and democracy, stands proudly on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. Gifted to the United States by France in 1886 to commemorate the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence, this colossal sculpture was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue is made of copper sheets mounted on a framework of steel supports and represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, bearing a torch and a tablet inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence. Over the years, the Statue of Liberty has served as a beacon of hope to millions of immigrants arriving in America and remains a potent symbol of the country’s ideals.
