EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the renowned Alsatian sculptor, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, in the year 1880, during the height of his artistic career. Known for his masterpiece, the Statue of Liberty, Bartholdi (1834-1894) is celebrated as a symbol of transatlantic friendship and the enduring bond between France and the United States. Born in Colmar, Alsace, France, Bartholdi studied under various masters in Paris before embarking on his artistic journey. His groundbreaking design for the Statue of Liberty, a colossal figure of Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, was conceived as a gift from the French people to the United States to commemorate the centennial of American independence and the end of the Franco-Prussian War. The statue, which stands atop Liberty Island in New York Harbor, was completed in 1885. The intricate details of Bartholdi's design, from the torch held aloft in her right hand to the tablet inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence in her left, symbolize the ideals of freedom, democracy, and unity. This photograph, a testament to Bartholdi's artistic genius, offers a glimpse into the life of a man whose work continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world. The Statue of Liberty, a beacon of hope and opportunity, remains an enduring symbol of the shared history and values between France and the United States.
