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