Statue of Liberty, from Brooklyn Bridge
The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World)
is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on
Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and
dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue, a gift to the United States
from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing
Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula
ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of
the American Declaration of Independence. A broken chain lies at her
feet. The statue has become an iconic symbol of freedom and of the
United States.
