Statue of Liberty

Inaugurated on October 28, 1886 "Liberty Enlightening the World" has become not only one of the most recognizable symbols world over but is steeped in symbolism whose meaning has evolved since it graced our harbor. Jeff traces Lady Liberty from its earliest conception by its sculptor and places this icon in its historical, political and economic context. The Statue also represents an incredible architectural and engineering accomplishment both in its initial construction and its centennial rehabilitation.
