This print captures the iconic symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty, in its early days. Titled "Liberty Enlightening World Offered City Paris" this wood engraving showcases the grandeur and significance of this monumental gift from the Americans to the city of Paris. Created by a talented group of artists including Auguste Louis Lepere, Tony Beltrand, Eugene Dete, and Frederic Florian, this artwork was published in Le Monde Illustre on May 30th, 1885. The sheet measures 45 x 32.4 cm while the image itself is depicted within dimensions of 26.2 x 20.2 cm. The intricate details captured through wood engraving bring out the majesty and gracefulness that defines Lady Liberty herself. Standing tall against a backdrop reminiscent of Parisian architecture, she holds her torch high as a beacon for all those seeking liberty and enlightenment. This historic piece serves as a reminder not only of France's enduring friendship with America but also their shared values rooted in democracy and human rights. It stands as an everlasting testament to unity between nations and represents hope for a brighter future.
