The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor FrÃ©dÃ©ric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886. The Statue of Liberty is a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess. She holds a torch above her head, and in her left arm carries a tabula ansata inscribed July 4, 1776, the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
The Statue of Liberty is not only one of the stateliest structures of the US, but also of the world. It is the product of French engineering and design of the nineteenth century and stands tall and proud at the New York Harbor. The Statue was made by Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel and Maurice Koechlin, under the guidance of Frederic Bartholdi. The Statue represents a feminine robed figure, upholding a torch with one hand.
