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 year 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 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. find the tracing word as imagine as
