6th September 1884: A Historic Moment in American History - Laying the Cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty This image captures a pivotal moment in American history as the cornerstone for the pedestal of the iconic Statue of Liberty is laid on Bedloe's Island, New York, USA. The date is 6th September 1884. The statue, a gift from the people of France to the United States, was designed by the renowned French sculptor, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. The pedestal, on the other hand, was designed by American architect Richard Morris Hunt. The cornerstone-laying ceremony was an elaborate affair, attended by thousands of people, including dignitaries, politicians, and citizens from both countries. The event was marked by speeches, parades, and various cultural performances, reflecting the strong bond of friendship and cooperation between France and the United States. The cornerstone, inscribed with the date, the names of the key figures involved in the project, and various symbols, was carefully placed at the base of the pedestal. The event marked the beginning of the final phase of the construction of the Statue of Liberty, which would be completed in October 1886. The Statue of Liberty, with its iconic torch held high, came to symbolize freedom, democracy, and the promise of a new life for millions of immigrants who arrived in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The statue remains a powerful symbol of hope and opportunity, attracting millions of visitors every year. This photograph, taken from the ILN (Illustrated London News) archives, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the excitement and anticipation surrounding the construction of this iconic landmark.
