Possibly the most iconic symbol of liberty and freedom in the modern western world, the Statue of Liberty stands at the "gateway to America" on Liberty Island in New York Harbor.
The copper statue was designed by French sculptor, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi,and built by Gustave Eiffel. It was dedicated on October 28, 1886 and was a gift to the United States from the people of France.

The statue is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess, bearing a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet.

The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.

I am a visual story teller based in southern Pennsylvania, USA and my imagery is inspired from everyday objects and situations I encounter through my travels. My work has been exhibited and sold at the Bradford Avenue Galleries (Allinson Gallery and Huston Gallery) at Chester County Art Association, in addition to this online store. My images have also been exhibited at Panorama XXL, Rouen, France and the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, USA. I hope you will find something that inspires you, amuses you, makes you think, smile, frown, or perhaps just scratch your head. Go on, dive in... and for those of you who do so, I offer a big thank you for looking through my window on the world! ~Richard ReevePhotos Inspiring...
