Answer 1

Răspuns:

The Statue of Liberty in New York is a monument in the port of "Liberty Island" in New York City. It was placed in 1886 at the entrance of the port on the island in order to convey to the arriving travelers the welcome greeting on American soil. The statue is a gift from France made to the United States on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the independence of the United States and inaugurated by President Grover Cleveland on October 28, 1886

Answer 2

Răspuns:

The statue is a figure of Libertas, a robed Roman liberty goddess. She holds a torch above her head with her right hand, and in her left hand carries a tabula ansata inscribed JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776 in Roman numerals), the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. A broken shackle and chain lie at her feet as she walks forward, commemorating the recent national abolition of slavery.[8] After its dedication, the statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, seen as a symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving by sea.

Bartholdi was inspired by a French law professor and politician, Édouard René de Laboulaye, who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to U.S. independence would properly be a joint project of the French and U.S. peoples. The Franco-Prussian War delayed progress until 1875, when Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the U.S. provide the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi completed the head and the torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions.
