A NOBLE GIFTOne of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statute of Liberty, was presented to theUnited States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statute, whichwas designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure wasmade of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel.Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to bebuilt. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statute whichwas 151 feet tall, had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent toAmerica. By the end of October 1886, the statute had been put together again and it was officiallypresented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been asymbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make theirhome in America.
