EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the construction of the iconic Statue of Liberty. In 1881, Levi Morton, the U. S. Minister to France, is captured driving the very first rivet into the pedestal of this monumental statue in Paris. The image showcases Morton standing proudly on a street in front of the partially completed statue's base. His determined expression reflects his role as a diplomat representing America during this historic event. The wood engraving technique used adds depth and texture to every detail, emphasizing Morton's face and posture as he contributes to this symbol of freedom. The Statue of Liberty stands tall as a beacon of hope and liberation for people around the world. This photograph immortalizes an important milestone in its construction, reminding us that it was not only a gift from France but also a joint effort between nations. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to late 19th-century Paris where workers labored tirelessly on North Bedloe Island (now known as Liberty Island) to bring Lady Liberty into existence. It serves as a reminder that great monuments like these are built through collaboration and dedication - values that continue to inspire generations today.
