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 with engineering by Gustave Eiffel, she holds a torch aloft in her right hand and a tabula ansata inscribed “JULY IV MDCCLXXVI” in her left. Her copper exterior has oxidized to its iconic verdigris hue, and her crown features seven rays representing the seven continents and seas.
