Synopsis
The story behind Liberty Enlightening the World: a monumental gift that years of effort turned into an icon of friendship and freedom.
This edition traces how the idea grew from a dinner conversation in France to a standing tribute in New York Harbor, and how Bartholdi’s vision aligns size, site, and design to express a powerful idea.
You’ll discover the practical details of its making—from copper plates and iron truss-work to Eiffel’s engineering touch—and the journey from Paris to the American shore. The book also examines critical thinking about colossal sculpture, including how size, setting, and line work combine to move a viewer.
- What inspired the statue and how it became a symbol of friendship between nations.
- Key design principles for monumental sculpture and how they were applied here.
- Construction milestones, locations, and the long path to dedication in 1886.
- Measured facts about height, weight, and the pedestal that frame the work’s grandeur.
Ideal for readers of art history, sculpture, and cultural heritage who enjoy clear, factual storytelling about great public monuments.
