EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Statue of Liberty standing proudly on Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor, New York, USA. Designed by French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi and presented to the United States in 1884, the statue is a symbol of freedom and enlightenment, with Lady Liberty holding a torch aloft to illuminate the world. During the 1940s, the Statue of Liberty took on an additional role as a beacon of hope and security. The searchlights and spotlights trained on her base provided a comforting sight for weary travelers and soldiers passing through New York Harbor during World War II. The illuminated plinth, bathed in light, served as a reminder of the enduring spirit of freedom and the unwavering commitment of the United States to protect and defend its values. The Statue of Liberty, a cherished symbol of America and a testament to the friendship between France and the United States, continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. This photograph, taken circa 1943, offers a unique perspective on the statue's role as a beacon of hope and a symbol of resilience during a time of global turmoil.
