Statue of Liberty - Iconic Symbol of Freedom in New York Harbor #3016562 (License: Personal Use)

The Statue of Liberty, a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, was a gift from France to the United States in 1886. Crafted by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and engineered by Gustave Eiffel, its copper exterior has oxidized into its signature green patina, while the torch flame is gilded in gold leaf. She holds a tablet inscribed with July 4, 1776, and wears a seven-rayed crown representing the seven continents and seas.
