THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United
States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was
designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of
copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. 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 Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet
tall, had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the
end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the
American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for
the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.
