When we enter New York Harbour, the first thing we see is the Statue of
Liberty. What impresses us the most is its size and magnificence. Have
you ever wondered how it came to be there? The Statue of Liberty was a
gift from the people of France to mark the one hundred years anniversary
of American Independence. In 1869, sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi
began to plan his concept for the monument.
Bartholdi chose the look of classic Greek and Roman figures. He
envisioned Liberty as a strong and proud figure, one who personified not
only the majestic Greek goddesses of the past, but also the working of
men and women of the present. Finally, in 1884, the work was finished,
and Liberty was packed into 214 crates and sent to New York city. Only
one problem stood in the way. While the French had raised a lot of funds
to build the statue, New York had not secured the funds to build its
foundation. It was not until a New York newspaper implored people for
donations that money became available. Finally, on 28th October 1886,
Americans celebrated the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty.
