THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
The Statue of Liberty, known during its construction and erection as “Bartholdi’s Light” or “Liberty Enlightening the World” is dedicated by President Grover Cleveland in New York Harbor. First shown in the United States at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia ten years earlier, the huge sculpture by French artist Auguste Bartholdi provided the beacon to millions of immigrants and citizens who would pass its position in the decades to come.
