EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print captures the assemblage of the iconic Statue of Liberty in 1883. Taken by Albert Fernique, a French photographer, this historical image showcases the monumental effort behind the construction of one of America's most cherished symbols. The photograph reveals a scene filled with activity and purpose. A group of skilled workmen can be seen meticulously placing together different sections of the statue's neoclassical design. The sculptors' dedication is evident as they carefully position each piece, including the recognizable head and torch that would later become synonymous with liberty. The towering scaffold surrounding Lady Liberty serves as a testament to both her grandeur and complexity. This snapshot offers a rare glimpse into the workshop where Bartholdi's vision was brought to life, showcasing his remarkable craftsmanship. Assembled in Paris before being shipped across the Atlantic Ocean, this gift from France to America symbolizes friendship and freedom between nations. The Statue of Liberty stands tall on Liberty Island today, welcoming millions of visitors who come to admire its beauty and significance. Fernique's photograph immortalizes an important moment in history when artistry merged with engineering prowess to create an enduring symbol that continues to inspire generations around the world.
