EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic hand and torch of the Statue of Liberty, a monumental symbol of freedom and hope. Taken in 1876 by an American photographer during the centennial celebration of the American Declaration of Independence, this print showcases the gift from the French people to the United States. The sculpture itself was created by Auguste Bartholdi, a renowned sculptor from France. The image beautifully highlights the intricate details and craftsmanship involved in creating this colossal civic monument. The flame held high represents a beacon of light that guides ships into New York Harbor, while also serving as an allegory for enlightenment and progress. In this photo, we see a crowd gathered around this fragment of Lady Liberty's arm, marveling at its significance and historical importance. It serves as a reminder not only to Americans but also to all those who visit or view it that liberty is cherished and fought for. As one gazes upon this powerful image, they are transported back in time to witness history being made. This photograph encapsulates both the historic moment when America celebrated its independence and pays homage to one of its most enduring symbols – a giant figure standing tall on Liberty Island representing freedom for all who seek it within America's borders.
