Statue of Liberty, The

Overview

The world s most famous sculpture, the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Enlightening the World, rises to a height of 305 feet from the base of her pedestal to the top of the golden flame of her torch. Conceived, designed, and originally built in France, she was unveiled on her new island home in 1886. The postcard trade, still in its infancy, embraced the icon, and Miss Liberty s commanding figure soon appeared on millions of postcards. In this book, one will see the statue from many angles profiles, long shots, close-ups, aerials, torch views, and more."
