STATUE OF LIBERTY, 1884 - A Historic Moment in New York Harbor
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late summer of 1884 when an enthusiastic crowd gathered in New York Harbor for a momentous occasion - the laying of the cornerstone for the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. The image, captured from wood engravings featured in a contemporary American newspaper, showcases the sheer magnitude and significance of this event. Despite a drizzling rain that day, umbrellas dotting the scene do little to dampen the spirits of those present. Men and women from all walks of life stand side by side, eagerly witnessing history unfold before their eyes. The towering figure itself remains shrouded under protective coverings as it awaits its grand unveiling. The statue's symbolic presence is palpable even at this early stage; it represents hope and freedom for countless immigrants who sought refuge on America's shores. As masons work diligently on constructing its sturdy pedestal, one can't help but feel a sense of anticipation hanging in the air. This photograph transports us back to an era when America was still shaping its identity as a nation built upon democratic principles. It serves as a poignant reminder that liberty knows no bounds – transcending time and place – while also honoring French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi's vision brought to life by engineer Gustave Eiffel. "The Statue of Liberty" print by The Granger Collection allows us to relive this historic
