Statue of Liberty - Iconic Symbol of Freedom and Democracy #1893097 (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. Designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and engineered by Gustave Eiffel, its copper exterior has oxidized into its signature green patina. The statue holds a torch in her right hand and a tablet inscribed with July 4, 1776, in her left, while a broken chain lies at her feet-symbolizing freedom from oppression.
