I visited New York City in the summer of 1973.

This is picture of the Statue in Paris in 1886.

Here is a link about the Statue's history.

Junebug said...: Yes, the statue was constructed and assembled in Paris and shipped to New York. Auguste Bartholdi was the sculptor.; February 29, 2008 at 11:55 AM

Dawn. From The Vista Hotel at The World Trade Center.

I flew into New York on a midnight flight.

Woke up to see the Lady from my window. I was ecstatic.; March 1, 2008 at 2:03 AM
Jeanette said...: That was very interesting. Thank you for posting that. I've never seen the Statue of Liberty or been to New York for that matter. Jeez, I gotta get out into the world!; March 1, 2008 at 6:52 AM
