The statue pictured here is shown from the figure itself, with the pedestal left out of the frame, a view that keeps attention on Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi's copper sculpture rather than the stone base beneath it. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the United States, dedicated in New York Harbor in 1886 and designed with an iron framework by Gustave Eiffel's company. The record's date of about 1944 is marked as uncertain, so the exact moment the photograph was taken is not fixed, but the statue was already a well-known symbol of immigration and welcome by that time.
