The crown and head of the Statue of Liberty are shown here wrapped in scaffolding, a sight that belongs to the statue's major restoration in the mid-1980s. Between 1984 and 1986, workers repaired the copper skin, replaced the internal iron framework that had corroded over nearly a century, and reinforced the structure before the statue's centennial in 1986. The work took place in the years leading up to that anniversary, when the monument was being readied for renewed public attention. Images like this one document a rare moment when the statue's most recognizable features were hidden from view.
