EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history - men diligently hammering sheets of copper in a workshop for the construction of the iconic Statue of Liberty. Taken in 1883 by Albert Fernique, this albumen print showcases the remarkable craftsmanship involved in bringing this neoclassical masterpiece to life. The statue, designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28,1886, stands as a symbol of freedom and friendship between France and the United States. Gifted by the people of France to America, it remains an enduring testament to their shared values. In this image, we see skilled sculptors working meticulously amidst scaffolding and tools. The atmosphere is filled with dedication and determination as they shape each sheet of copper into intricate pieces that will eventually form Lady Liberty's majestic figure. The workshop itself exudes an aura of creativity and industry. Sheets of copper are strewn across tables while hammers strike rhythmically against metal. This behind-the-scenes glimpse offers us a rare insight into the laborious process required to construct such an iconic monument. Fernique's photograph not only captures a significant historical moment but also highlights the collaborative efforts between French artisans who brought their expertise across oceans to contribute to American history. It serves as a reminder that great achievements are often born from international cooperation and artistic vision.
