The poster ties a stage production to Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi's statue, which suggests the monument was already a recognizable name before its 1886 dedication in New York Harbor. Bartholdi designed the figure, and its copper skin was hammered into shape in Paris before the pieces were shipped across the Atlantic in 1885. Theatrical posters of that era used bold color lithography to catch the eye of passersby on city streets, so the statue's appearance here shows how quickly it entered popular culture. The sheet blends commercial promotion with a national symbol.
