Statue of Liberty Origins and Construction Described
A historic account traces the birth of the Statue of Liberty from its Franco American collaboration, detailing Barthololdi's design, the 1876 torch exhibit, the gifting by France, landing at Bedleey Island, and the pedestal’s monumental scale. It notes interior ironwork, the stair system to the torch, and the torch’s 6000 candle power lighting as a beacon for ships. The piece closes with a aside on a London church anecdote about wine and cakes for clergy.
