EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the construction of one of the world's most iconic landmarks - the Statue of Liberty. In this image, we find ourselves in the Monduit and Bechet workshop in Paris, France, witnessing an extraordinary moment in history. The focus is on a group of skilled workers diligently sculpting and modeling the head of Lady Liberty herself. The intricate details being carved out of wood are awe-inspiring, showcasing their craftsmanship and dedication to bringing this monumental statue to life. Amidst scaffolding and tools scattered around, it becomes evident that this masterpiece is still a work in progress. The face remains unfinished but already exudes a sense of grandeur and determination that would later become synonymous with liberty itself. Frederick Bartholdi, renowned French sculptor and visionary behind this colossal project, oversees every aspect from his perch atop the scaffold. His unwavering commitment to creating something truly magnificent can be felt through each stroke made by his team. As we observe these Parisian artisans meticulously shaping every contour with passion and precision, it becomes clear that they are not merely constructing a statue; they are building an enduring symbol of freedom for generations to come. This remarkable wood engraving from a French newspaper captures both the physical labor involved in its creation as well as the spirit behind it – liberation. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us all that even great monuments start from humble beginnings.
