The Statue of Liberty

The world's most famous sculpture, the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Enlightening the World, rises to a height of 305 feet from the base of her pedestal to the top of the golden flame of her torch. Conceived, designed, and originally built in France, she was unveiled on her new island home in 1886. The postcard trade, still in its infancy, embraced the icon, and Miss Liberty's commanding figure soon appeared on millions of postcards. In this book, one will see the statue from many angles--profiles, long shots, close-ups, aerials, torch views, and more.

An expert on the topic, Barry Moreno is the author of several books, including The Statue of Liberty Encyclopedia, Images of America: The Statue of Liberty, and Statue of Liberty: Wonder of the World. Over the years, he has collected many postcards and other Statue of Liberty memorabilia. He is also the author of The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Ellis Island and Manhattan Street Scenes.
