EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history - the construction of the iconic Statue of Liberty. The image showcases the intricate scaffolding used to assemble this monumental symbol of freedom, with its head prominently displayed on the left side. Taken in Paris in 1883 by Albert Fernique, this photograph provides a glimpse into the meticulous craftsmanship and dedication required to bring Lady Liberty to life. The neoclassical sculpture stands as an allegory for America's values and ideals, representing liberty and democracy. Its sheer size and grandeur make it an awe-inspiring sight, evoking a sense of national pride for both Americans and admirers worldwide. Frederick Auguste Bartholdi, the French sculptor behind this masterpiece, meticulously designed every detail of Lady Liberty's form during the Gilded Age. This photograph transports us back to that era when architectural marvels were being created. The outdoor workshop setting adds another layer of authenticity to this historical snapshot. It allows us to witness firsthand how artisans worked diligently amidst towering scaffolds and soaring towers. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images, we are reminded not only of our shared heritage but also of human ingenuity and determination. The Statue of Liberty remains an enduring symbol that continues to inspire generations with its message of hope, freedom, and unity between nations.
