The torch, not the full statue, is the subject here: the flame-holding arm rises above the harbor with the Manhattan skyline behind it, a framing that shows how closely the monument was tied to the city it welcomed arrivals into. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France, dedicated on Liberty Island in 1886, and its torch was a separate element for decades. The original torch was replaced in 1986 during a restoration, and the older one, with its gilded flame, was later moved indoors to protect it from weathering. Views like this one, taken from the water, were common for visitors arriving by ferry.
