A NOBLE GIFT
One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statute of Liberty, was presented to the
United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statute, which was
designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of
copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could
be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site
chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statute which was 151 feet tall, had
been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of
October 1886, the statute had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American
people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of
people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their home in America.
