The Statue of Liberty 
One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was a gift                               
of friendship from the people of France to the United States on the centenary of                             
American independence. It is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The                       
Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886, designated as a National                         
Monument in 1924 and restored for her centennial on July 4, 1986. 
Made in Paris by the French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, in collaboration                     
with Gustave Eiffel ( who was responsible for the steel framework ). The statue is                         
of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, 10.                         
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.  
Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and                                   
a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New                                 
York Harbor. By, 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. In                                 
order to transport the statue to America, the figure was disassembled into 350                         
pieces and packed in 214 crates. Four months later, it was reassembled on Bedloe’s                           
Island ( renamed Liberty Island in 1956 ). 
On October 28, 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially                             
presented to the American people by Bartholdi. President Grover Cleveland                   
dedicated the Statue of Liberty before thousands of spectators. Ever since, the                       
great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have                             
passed through New York Harbor to make their homes in America. 
Liberty Enlightening the World, the official name of the Statue of Liberty, was                         
extensively restored in time for the spectacular centennial of American                   
independence on 4 July 1986, for whom it symbolized the ideals of Washington and                           
Lincoln. It has continued to inspire people across the world..
