Question

Make a note on the following :

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty

Island in New York harbour in New York City, in the United States.

The copper statue, designed by Bartholdi, a French sculptor, was

built by Gustave Eiffel and dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was a

gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue is of

a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess,

who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law)

upon which is inscribed the date of the American declaration of

Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The

statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a

welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad. Bartholdi was

inspired by French Law Professor and Politician Édouard René de

Laboulaye, who is said to have commented in 1865 that any

monument raised to American independence would properly be a

joint project of the French and American peoples. He may havebeen mined to honour the Union victory in the American Civil War

and the end of slavery. Due to the post-war instability in France,

work on the statue did not commence until the early 1870s. In

1875, Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and

the Americans provide the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi

completed the head and the torch-bearing arm before the statue

was fully designed, and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at

international expositions. The torch-bearing arm was displayed at

the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and in Madison

Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to 1882. Fund raising proved

difficult, especially for the Americans, and by1885 work on the

pedestal was threatened due to lack of funds. Publisher Joseph

Pulitzer of the New York World started a drive for donations to

complete the project that attracted more than 120,0000

contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar. The statue was

constructed in France, shipped overseas in crates, and assembled

on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe’s Island.

The statue’s completion was marked by New York’s first ticker-tape

parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President

Grover Cleveland. The statue was administered by the United

States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of

War; since 1933 it has been maintained by the National Park

Service. Public access to the balcony surrounding the torch has

been barred for safety reasons since 1916​
