Registered with the U.S. Copyright Office as a photoprint by Irving Underhill, this view of the Statue of Liberty carries the catalog number B57109 in its record. Its date, circa September 12, 1931, comes from a caption card and has not been verified. The statue was dedicated on Liberty Island on October 28, 1886, a gift from France designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, with its iron framework engineered by Gustave Eiffel. By the 1930s it had become one of the most photographed symbols of New York Harbor, and deposit prints like this one record how it was pictured in that era.
